Thank You Mike, I have heard these stories before too, I found a few SAE bolts forced onto my engine after I pulled it and made me wonder..

Items 2, 6, 7 and 10 are all Grade 10.9 high-strength bolts for the  
Vanagon engine mounting crossbar. NEVER use hardware store bolts. I  
have repaired a Vanagon where the bolts snapped and the engine fell on  
the ground while driving!
