I'm guessing you're referring to bolts needed to attach the block to the engine stand brackets. I have used the 4 bolts that hold the tranny bell housing to the engine block, if I am mounting to the end of the block (but in this picture, it appears that I had grabbed some longer bolts):

I prefer mounting to the side of the block, using the engine mount bracket studs, as in this picture:

This gives you wide-open access to both ends of the engine.

mounting from the side also allows you to put the flywheel and rear main seal in while on the stand.
