One man job? Removing and replacing transmission

Years and decades ago - - - I took two of the transmission bell housing-to-block bolts to the local ACE Hardware. I think they were 1.5 x 10mm bolts - and bought two matching thread size bolts - except with about 3 to 4 inches longer shoulders.

Took them home and cut the hex head off - when reinstalling the tranny - i screw them by hand into the top two holes in the block - then line the top two holes in the bell housing up with them - the tranny slides right into place... Saves a lot of twisting/moving/shaking effort with the tranny..

FWIW,

Old head bolts will work as well. Ask pop's Z or kenz240z.
