Hi David Mount the engine directly to the stand. DO NOT use the flexplate. If memory serves me I believe you use 3/8 coars thread bolts. On my stands they need to be about 3 to 3 1/2 in long to go thru the mounting ears on the stand and far enough into the block to secure it. Hope this helps. Good luck with the rebuild!
