In preparation for starting on my engine swap just been checking bits that I need. I assume that the existing bolts from the pinto bellhousing to type 9 main body can be reused with a new bellhousing ?? (I,e, the gearbox to bellhousing bolts)

Can anyone confir as it will save me getting stuck when I get that that bit!

Not sure mate, have a feeling the standard bolts are too short with the aluminium bellhousing. Am sure I need to replace with longer on mine, but the engine and box are fitted in the car at the movement temporarily so I can't check for you

Will measure mine tomorrow for ya as mine are just on a shelf.....

I had to buy longer bolts the alloy bell is thicker.

You will also need this one too, to stop your layshaft moving.
