Converter install questions 65rfe

[Hartlycooter]

So my lifters ate my cam and i went on a spending spree. Ordered long tubes demon motorsports hellraiser cam and an edge 3200 converter. Is there any surprises when doi g a converter in the 65rfe? Im going to get a filter kit while i have it apart and on the lift obviously. Any clips for tranny lines or anything i should pick up? Any tips to make the converter swap easier? How many bolts am i looking for on the bell housing to seperate the motor and trans? (Theres always 2 or 3 you cant find)

Once you get the inspection cover off, there's 2 bolts going front to back that are different from the rest. The rest of the bellhousing is 4 bolts IIRC (1 on each side, 2 on top); plus the starter. Top ones can be a little tricky if you don't lower the back end of the trans down. TC should clunk in 3 times to be fully seated.

Ok thanks. Yea i saw the bolts that run front to back the other day when i was under the truck looking around.
