Stock bolts with Quick Time bellhousing? I'm in a time crunch to get ready for a race. I've got the bellhousing and new ARP flywheel bolts and my buddy's chassis lift on standby for Saturday. Just dawned on me: "I don't know if the stock bellhousing bolts will work with the Quick Time unit!!" Can anybody confirm that I'm alright, or give suggestions?

Quick Time bellhousing did not come tapped for metric bolts for my 4th gen LS1. I purchased my bellhousing awhile ago so they might have changed that. I was pissed when I figured it out. Metric thread diameter and pitch are similar to the 3/8-16 thread that was tapped in mine. It's possible to hand turn the bolt in a few turns, encounter resistance and ratchet it in ruining the thread. Didn't happen to me but caught it before I did. Also, the bellhousing is powder coated and the dowel pin locater holes where not masked and would not go on. I had to use a round file to lightly remove the power coat. The bellhousing also was designed to use an aftermarket hydraulic throw out bearing. This was news to me at the time too.
I would verify all these issues and anything else you can think of, prior to borrowing a lift and planning a quick(time) install.
