I'd suggest the grade 8 bolts for a fully dressed FE on the stand. The last ones I used started to bend slowly. I'm pretty sure they were grade 5. Nothing worse than a droopy FE on your stand with nothing between it and the floor to catch it. I like to build a heavy wood crate if the engine is to sit on the floor for long periods of time. Congrats on the 428. I see your building a Hurricane. They make a really nice kit and I've been eye balling them also. I hear a 427 street version is soon to be released.
