generally trans bolts are a tad too short. You shold go find some bolts that are
the same but are about 1/2" longer.

I just bought the same bolts as tranny bolts, except much longer. I then used washers to effectively shorten them.

Those bolts were expensive though, like $4 a piece. The guy only charged me for three instead of four though. I thought about mentioning it but for God's sake, $4?

At least you guys FOUND bolts. I had to make a sub-assembly with box sections of steel to make my D16Y8 fit on the @#$% engine stand! Total cash outlay for that was nearly $30!
