Are the 4 bell housing bolts and the tapped holes in the block strong enough? It doesn't look much . I need to avoid any use of the holes in the alloy sump, as I will need to rotate the engine, and remove it. Any advice welcome. Graham Sent from my iPad

The m8x1 are same size as Conrad bolts & see MUCHBigger shear & tensile loads than static hanging shear loads.Shear strength for a 5/16 x24 Grade 2 at threads is mol 340 #, at full dia shank raises to mol 575 #. Metric m8x1 are marginally larger than 5/16 SAE bolt,In dia. & pitch is mol same in both. Form max strength use a high grade bolt. If bellhousing to block bolts are OEM original the should have a letter embossed on head denoting grade strength. https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/archive/index.php/t-12667.html just cross reference to match grade 8 SAE bolt to currant iso Class 8.8 or 10.9.
