Trying to make sure i have every little part i need

WHen putting the T-5 starter index plate on, there are two dowels used to line it and the bellhousing up. Are these dowels already in my block or do i need to buy them?

Cool, now while i am here...anbody know the lenght of the two top bolts of the bellhousing and the thread pitch?

I know i can reuse my AOD's bolts and use washers on the top two, but i want to do it right and put the right size bolts in.

Hey, if you get stuck with something just send me a pm, I did my T5 conversion about a year ago. Hardest thing was installing the pedals...it was cake after that.
