I had a few minutes in the Shop this morning. I finished drilling and tapping the Bellhousing and Transm case. I stepped the bolt size up to a 1/2 x 16 NC.

With the top bolts coming thru the Transmission case and into Bellhousing I will need to have the Top Cover removed to install these bolts. I am not concerned about the weight on this connection point, as I Plan to use a rear mount Crossmember.
