I was slightly wrong about this dang memory!). Both bolts are special. What 
makes them special is that the bolt has a 3/8 thread diameter and a 7/16 
inch shoulder. The difference between the top and bottom is that the top 
threads into the bellhousing and the bottom is held in place with a nut and 
a washer. I guess this means my suggestion to use a stud in the bottom hole 
wouldn't work to well.
