1 or more of my bellhousing bolt holes are stripped out. Is it fine to helicoil the block or as there another way I should go about fixing this?
 
2 of my front headbolt holes were stripped on my block, and I had those coiled and tapped. It holds boost/pressure just fine. You should be able to do the same thing to your bell housing. If you dont know how to do it 100% make sure you bring it to someone who does. You wouldnt want to mess that up, and it will save you some hassle. Good luck man.:thumb:
 
you could possably drill them out and use the next larger size bolt or yes helicoil should work for atleast a while.
 
I'm kinda scared to drill it out and use a bigger bolt. I would have to drill the tranny hole bigger also i think, But that would be a lot easier.
