I got my block back from the machine shop yesterday and one of the engine stand bolts won't thread in right. Those are the holes for the bellhousing right?? What size tap do I need to clean them up so I can get the bolt in??

I belive they're 3/8th NC, just take one down to the HW store, and have'em match it up.

What Mike said is the right size.

SBC = 3/8-16 UNC. Use a bottoming tap instead of a plug tap to clean up all the threads.
