Default 98 GC 5.9L Bellhousing bolts

So Im preparing to swap my engine for another 5.9L. However, I got the bolts for the bellhousing mixed up and I dont know where the different length of bolts go into. Does anyone have a Diagram that I can reference?

Here's the breakdown: The two longest bolts go at the very top (10 or 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock). The medium length ones go on the sides. The shortest ones go at the very bottom (5 and 7 o'clock). If you have one with a stud, that's for the wiring harness bracket on the driver's side.

Isnt their 4 holes at 10, 11, 12 and 1 o' Clock?


also what are their sizes? I can’t find any replacement bolts online. I might be using the wrong terms, I figured bellhousing bolts would work… guess I’ll have to go to the junk yard and find em…
