Anybody have some? Or know the length/size and pitch?

.. those are m10x90 and 1.5 pitch, and flangehead. For aftermarkets you can find 10.9 grade.
The stock bolts are 8.8 grade and still fine. Avoid anything fully threaded.
Since not using a motor mount single-bolt kit, be SURE to shim between the cradle and motor on ONE side,
after tightening the other side... that method has proved to work just fine. Also, good to check that huge gap up front at the M8 cradle-mount bolts.
Often you can insert full thickness 5/16 washers up there!!!, between the cradle and frame,... after tightening the opposite side -- to prevent cradle cracks.

Most of us have extras of those bolts just laying around, as leftovers from installing motor mount updates.
But I've had no problem at all re-using them, if the gap between the inside of the cradle and the outside of motor is SHIMMED!!.
I could send freebies with next order, and also have a decent 10mm shims assortment for $3.
