The best way to do this, would just be to insert them into each hole to see if they are too long, or not long enough (or the proper length).

In your Pic of 5 bolts: Left 2 go in the bottom 2 red circles from the Block side, Middle 2 go in the top 2 holes from the transmission side. Not sure on the right bolt I dont remember that one.
Source is I did my 420a's transmission like 2 months ago

Thats for a turbo model. We have non turbos. Bolts are different.

I would still say my suggestion would be sufficient based upon this being for a 420a model.

Lol that would work. Oddly he should have 2 left bolts and 2 middle bolts not the 1 and 3 he has. It doesn't really matter on those really(except the pointed one, that won't work on top) because they are the same thread and size.

Thanks but I kinda figured it out I just got lost where the pointy one go and the small one

what was the answer? Looking because I'm throwing mine back in and can't figure it out either.

@dk7868 specifically, you posted this question in a thread that's asking about bellhousing bolts for a 420A (n/t) 2g. Since you've got a 4G63 this is what yours will look like, if you have a 6-bolt bottom end then the bolt @ 9 o'clock isn't used.

Very good reference Corey!


Going forward, one trick that may help keep things more organized when using multiple bolts to attach something is to number each bolt in a clock-wise fashion. Take a sharpie of grease/paint pen to number each head as you remove them. Then all you have to remember is where to start (as close to the 12-1 o'clock position as possible).
