I figured out which holes on the block I would use, and then measured
the length I would need beforehand. Then I just went to the Home Depot
with the corresponding tranny bolts in my pocket. Matched the threads
with what they had in the bins. Get bolts that are a little long,
and use washers to take up the space. With my engine stand, I used
three bolts that threaded into the block, and one that used a nut.
