I'm still putting together my AODE to T5 conversion kit and have read several posts about the Bell Housing to Block bolts being different between the AODE and T5. I'm trying to get the right size bolts before I pull the tranny off. I know that the thread size is but I'm trying to figure out the length.

The question that I have is, are the 6 T5 bolts all the same size or are 2 of them actually shorter? I measured the thickness of the T5 bell housing and all the bolt holes have the same thickness. It looks like all the T5 bolts should be the same length. if someone can let me know the length of bolts I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks. That would mean that if the posts that I read were correct that either the top AODE bolts are longer (thicker bell housing?) or that they might have been talking about a pre-94/95 T5 bell housing that might have a thinner bell housing for the top bolts?

I'll get all six of the same bolt length, probably from the Ford dealer. MPS wants $25 for 6 bolts. I checked at Lowes but they only have grade 8.8 for the metric sizes. I think those are only equivalent to a grade 5 standard bolt.
