I got dowel bolts from BCS (they weren't cheap). Some say you don't
need them, but I work on the 'If the beancounters at BMC allowed
them ..." principle. I helped a friend convert his early Camaro to
manual; the instructions from the transmission company were quite
specific about alignment of the bell housing to the engine.<br>

<div>Are the two top bolts used to secure the bell housing
to the back plate different from the rest of the bolts and
nuts? Do they screw into the block? I notice any screws
I need to mount the transmission to the engine for a BN2
are "N/A" in the Moss catalog. Do I need lock washers for
the through hole bolts? It looks like 3/8-24 by 1 1/4
inch long hex head screws will do for the most part,but
wondering about the top two and the bottom two might have
to be shorter to not interfere with the oil pan. Anyone
mount a BN2 transmission lately?</div>
