A couple of the guys suggested that I put some long bolts into the 2 bottom holes on the bell housing to allow me to slide the tranny back out of the way with greater safety. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find some 4-5 inch long 9/16 bolts that are long enough. i'm out here in BFE and do not have a lot of stores to get stuff from. Any idea wether auto zone or O'Rileys would have something like this? Or any suggestions of something that I could use that I would have like alternator or starter bolts? I don't want to mess up the threads in the block, so trial and error are out. I was hoping that some of you experts could enlighten me as I am as shade tree as it gets.

I got the top 2 bolts out. I actually had enough clearance between the engine and the firewall to get my hand behind it. I could not believe it, but it's true.

Also need to know what to torque the flywheel bolts to, the torque converter bolts, and the bell housing bolts once I am ready for reassembaly.

I know.... I ask a-lot, but I really do appreciate it

Thanks guys,

John
