I added a pic of my engine stand.
I'm not sure if the factory stand head will work on a renesis.
Did you mean that with Z-type?

Thomas Rebhan

This is about what mine looks like.  The "Z", movable brackets on my
mount are big enough for a 10mm bolt.  I got some long bolts and
adjusted the Zs over the 10mm block holes and was able to get 3 bolts
into the block without any problem.  This will depend a little on the
exact length and base plate of your unit.

I can get the exact measurements this weekend if still needed.

Scott Gettings

If we are talking about the rear housing bolt holes I have those
and here they are.
