I'll also look for his metric gearwrench set.... using sockets and extensions for bellhousing bolts is for pussies 15mm gearwrench FTW!
There is only 3 torque converter bolts and your's could be anything - your torque conveter isn't factory. I think Matt has had Trox, Allen and hex headed bolts over the time... either way I have the sockets/bits that should take care of that, I also have a spare set of hex coverter bolts if there's a problem with them.

Got the alt power streering and so on unbolted but gotta get some line wrenches in the moring to get the lines off the power streering pump.Shoudn't take but a few mins there.
Still alot left of course but it's a decent start in a couple hours plus the wait for the motor to cool.
