Default Lt1 Bell housing bolts

Alright, when i first got back into the shop, i had 1.8 hours or so to get my tranny out of my car, so needless to say, i did a very fast job, i ripped **** out of there and got it done, and to the re-builder that night... Its gonna be done soon and re-installing its gonna take longer I suppose, b/c I did a **** poor job of bagging and tagging all bolts and nuts when I took it apart.

I pulled the tranny from the bell housing, so the clutch/bell housing assembly is all still on the motor, and hte slave is hanging there.

When I pulled the tranny, every single bell housing bolt was different ( it seems ) whether it was different head sizes, lengths, or thread pitches, they were all different. I don't know if this is the way they were supposed to be or if the car was thrown together once before, but know I have like 8-10 bolts of differing sizes that I wanna know where they go, a diagram would rock!!!

All the bolts should be the same. The last guy that R&R'd the unit lost the bolts. I think it's like 3/8-16 X 1 1/2. Do not use a stud kit, it'll make lining everything an even bigger bitch.

Get some Black Oxide 12 point bolts like ARP's 644-1500 (doulbe check the length). You'll be able to use a 12 point swivel socket on a long (like 24 inch) extension. You'll get it up there and the bolt will stay on the socket for you.

Getting to the bolts isn't the problem, there super easy to get to, just wondering what size the bolts are.
