Is there something somewhere which translates the GM part numbers in the Motorhome Parts Manual to common descriptions where they exist? I need to know what the size of the bolts are that hold the carb to the intake manifold so I can connect a lifting plate to pick up a donor engine. Obviously I could remove one on my GMC and see, but I was hoping for something easier which could answer my immediate problem and be useful in the future.

When I first started R&Ring GMC engines out the bottom, I had no luck
finding an engine tilt device. So I resorted to using a chain hoist and a
come-a-long (the latter because I don't have two chain hoists) on separate
gantry dollies. One chain between two intake manifold bolts well forward
and another similarly located well aft. Generally lift the front a little,
then let the rear down until the engine (and, usually, the transmission and
final drive) is hanging from the front hoist. Roll the front gantry dolly
aft just enough to gain front clearance, and lower away.

I lift them out the top by the carb mounting surface. Natural balance
point. Done dozens of them that way. No drama.

I borrowed the hoist and rail from the GMC Mountainaires but I had to tip the engine to hoist it out without taking off the water pump or pulleys. I bought an engine tilt device from Harbor Freight which worked well. I donated that to the Mountainaires to go with their hoist.

Thanks to all for comments. Since I have the lifting plate, I'm going to follow Jim Hupy's advice and go ahead. I was hoping someone could send me the carb mounting bolt sizes, I guess I'll just have to pull one to see to use Jim's method.
The engine I'm getting is on a pallet, removed from a Toronado and has a good recommendation. Thank goodness I'm not having to remove it from a GMC. But all of your instructions would certainly help me if I did and may help my mechanic in the future. My GMC is slowly losing Oil Pressure, I'm down to the mid 20's under load, It's got 105K miles on it, as best as I can figure, but maybe more, and I'm concerned a rebuild is in my future, so I'd like to have this good core to rebuild when the time comes.
No one indicated that there was any document or source of translation from GMC part numbers to detailed part descriptions, so I'm guessing it doesn't exist. Too Bad.
