Default Replacing Bolts

figured I'll go ahead and put in new bell housing bolts this time around and was wondering what part number they are and where's a good place to get them other than a dealer.
Want the bolts with studs on the back side.

Cant help you with those. But I would recommend the ARP bolts for the TC if you dont have them already. They are a lot better than the stockers that seem to have soft edges, as well as being a goofy bolt anyway....

My stockers are still new. Replaced them last time. Seem fine to me, I actually liked the idea of having a Allen head just in case you strip the bolt.

why do i want to replace them? A couple are a little bent and have some mashed threads. Figure I'll get new ones to ease the install.

lol. yea, wouldn't replace them if i didn't have a good reason.
I'd like to go ahead and bump it to a 3600 stall but don't want to max out my credit card.

I think I'll just wait until maybe this time next year when I can get my own place where I can actually work indoors.

I'm thinking that you might want to make a friend in your local dealer part dept for those bolts bud

the only bolt that you really need a stud for is the dipstick bolt. all the others can be a regular bolt that you can get at the parts store.

Ahh, didn't realize that...I'd be sure to get the same grade of bolt at least...
