Must have pushed the wrong button.
If you purchased the lifts you posted then the bolts required come with them.
If you don't have bolts then only you can measure the thickness of the lifting plate and depth of the
3/8"-16 holes minus appox. 1/4". This you can do at the time you remove the intake manifold.
All the rest of the bolts, including the 7/16"-14 forward exh. manifold bolts are done the same way.(after the engine is removed)
7/16"-14 threaded rod is used for the 8BA engine stand (you determine length)
Grade 5 bolts are sufficient, ( grade 8 if you think you need suspenders too)
