Default Bolt size and thread pitch for lifting engine

Anyone know the size and pitch of the bolts needed at the back of the engine to hoist. See pic.

911 lug bolt does not work. It's too long to line up to screw in because the end of the exhaust manifold is in the way. Going to wrap chain around end of exhaust manifold.
