bolts in a T5 swap

[Leonforte]

I'm in the process of swapping a C4 to a T5z in my '66 Mustang(v8).I have A T5 bellhousing and T5 motor plate.I don't have any of the old bolts so I can't figure out the following:
1--does the motor plate require any bolts and if so,what length/width/pitch bolts and where do I place them?
2--bellhouse to engine-What and how many bolts do I need? Where do I place them(lower 6 holes?) and what length/width/pitch?
3--T5 to bellhouse-What size bolts(length/width/pitch) do I need and how many?
any help(or pictures) will be greatly appreciated! I'm at this stage with no bolts and I want to make sure I have all the bolts that I need!
Thank you-Tom

you can't count? 6 bolts hold the bell and and motor plate to the engine, 7/16 coarse thread, approx 2" thread length, maybe a little less. Trans to bell is 4 bolts, I don't remember the size but that kind of stuff is ridiculously easy to figure out at the hardware store.

Hint - when you look at the bellhousing, trans case, etc and see a threaded hole, it usually takes a bolt. Some are SAE and some are metric. Time for a trip to Ace, eh wot?

Tom...really now..its good you are being careful and we are oh so ready to help......but if you cannot count bolt holes unassisted, the only thing you should be trying to 'swap' is spit with your girlfriend.

If you ask for any "T-5 swap info," I'll reach through your computer monitor and kill you.

Hi Tom, I am the eldest here at StangNet and the official welcomer..........so welcome!

First of all, forget about the search button as it is simply a waste of time and money for StangNet. None of the newbies use it.

Also, old LMan use to race with me at NASA and every since Bobbie gave me a hug he has been hung up on Zero Gravity Boobs. I tried to explain how they work and one good hug is a dead give away.........but he does not listen.

Then there is "302" who was a starving college student when I bought him a hamburger at a place call "Loco's" in a small rural village in South Georgia, so that pretty much explains his hangup on the Mr. Whopper thing.

I fight for the common guy like you so here is all you need to do since the search button is not an option.

Go to Lowes and purchase the six sizes of all thread and cut your own bolts to any size needed. This makes things a lot simpler. When they are cut just put a nylok nut on the end with some thread locker and you are set. Forget all that work on trying to figure out what size is needed and screw the search button!

Do you by chance have a golf cart?
