Sliver to Blacktop

Moved Balcktop engine and gearbox into engine bay ready to add engine mounts.

New problem ... bolts from the silvertop dont fit my Focus Blacktop block.

My son bought 7 from Ford (1998-2005 model - i think) and these dont fit either (although length too long, the threads wont screw into the block 60x10 bolt size)?

Any idea on what bolt size I need to purchase?

Threads may need chasing out. My silver top bolts fit no problem, same thread but a couple had a lot of rust.

As Coozer said. The threads on both my blacktops we full of rust and needed chasing out with a tap.

Yup, had the same problem too, run an M10 plug down them.
