match up your trans bolts at the auto parts store, or you could match them up at home depot. just get longer ones

RE: engine bolts for stand
If you have mounted a 5.0 on the stand using the bellhousing/tranny bolts, (sounds to me like you did), the problem is the engine is not balanced to the stand.
Need to remove bellhousing, clutch, flywheel and mont engine to stand by bolting it on where the bellhousing would mount to the block.
Yep, you need differant bolts now. I've never used a grade 8 bolt to hold block to stand in 30+ years. I've done some real heavy heavy big blocks too. (426 Hemi) Grade 5 all you need, buy at hardware store.....

RE: engine bolts for stand
The bolts should be in the same holes as the bellhousing mounts to the block with.
Sometimes you need to sort of 'reangle' the arms on the stand to get thingssss so that you can rotate the whole easy.
I use a piece of 1/2" water pipe about 3 feet long for a rotator tool also.....
