What size bolts do you use for T5 to latemodel bellhousing, what size is the crank bolt on the front of the 5.0 and what size/type of bolts do i use for my flywheel and new clutch. They didn't come with bolts.

IIRC, the trans to bellhousing bolts are 12mm. They are metric, that much I recall. Cant help with the 5.0 crank nut. I would buy new ARP clutch/flywheel bolts, piece of mind is worth it.

 

Hose down the bolt stub with PB Blaster for a couple of days and then use a torch to heat the area around the bolt. Get a good grip on the stub with a good set of vice grips and pray it comes out. Otherwise, it's drill it out and re-tap the hole.

Good Luck!

The trans to bell bolts are metric. I want to say M14, but don't know for sure... The clutch bolts will depend on which flywheel you use - late-model 5.0 fly's are metric.

On your broken bolt, soak with PB. Weld a nut onto the end of the broken stud, then you have something to use a wrench on.

What they said.

Trans to Bell is 12mm

Mine is on a 289, so the Engine is SAE, Don;t know about the 5.0

If the weld on nut does not work, Drill a small hole in the middle all the way through, then get bigger and bigger
IF you get lucky ( as I have on a few of the bolts ) one of the drills will "rip out" the treads of the old bolt and leave the good threads.

If not lucky, Drill out for a helicoil. You can get helicoils at the auto parts store. Not cheap but work.

DO NOT be temped to use a easy out (they are not for stuck bolts)

 

Thanks for all the ideas fellas. I coulda sworn I got 12m bolts, but I'll try them again. And I'll get myself some PB blaster tomorow and weld on a nut like cloney suggested. I'll update if it all goes well!

 

For the bellhousing, I think they are 12 MM as well, but make sure you get the right thread pitch. I don't recall what the correct pitch is, but I think it's the coarser of the two options.
