Title: Intake manifold bolts/Engine lift hook brackets for SB
Post by: Fanthomgreen69 on September 15, 2016, 07:37:57 PM: Ordered an engine lift hook brackets(1256599) from Classic Industries.(Came with Paragon instruction) They offer 2 different ones. The other is HC70. They both show they are for a SB. The one I ordered looks to be the original type that came on the '69 Z/28. The right rear bracket bolts to the bellhousing. The other one just bolts to the intake. How much longer does this bolt need to be? Also ordered the intake manifold bolt kit. They don't offer a bolt kit with the 2 longer flange bolts. On a previous thread someone mentioned a certain flanged bolt size(3/8 16x1-1/4) from AMK. I called AMK. The lady I spoke with told me that bolt was for a big block. Don't want to order the wrong/incorrect bolts. I am confused. Which lift bracket is correct for my application and what are the correct longer flanged bolts and the AMK part #. Thanks for any help.

Agree it does not bolt to bell housing. And agree that the flanged bolt used for lift brackets is what was used on BB manifolds.

They attach to the last hole on the intake on the passenger side, with the hole facing the firewall, and the second hole on the intake on the drivers side.
all of my bolts were the same , all have the same head stamp
they are similar to these:

Thx for the photo. I have seen quite a few pics of the driver's side bracket, but yours is the first showing the passenger side. Having a heck of a time trying to find the longer bolts. A lot of places sell the brackets and a bolt kit, but not a kit with the 2 longer bolts or just the longer bolts. Where did you find the flange bolt and how long is it?

I'm seeing some say yes, some say no?

This thread said yes.

Post by: Bryan302 on September 18, 2016, 02:03:39 AM: Well, let me re-word that. Did ALL 69 Z's get the flange bolts on the lift brackets? Some vendors and some owners insist that all bolts were the regular hex head.
