    Pretty sure they're M10 not M12.

    Some of those flange bolts avertised on fleebay don't look long enough to go through the lugs on the back of the engine block. There are boxes of assorted lengths available or even the proper Ford ones advertised.

    The ones I have linked to are correct 30mm length. They are serrated flange so no spring washer needed.

    30mm bolts aren't long enough to bolt through the back of the block into the bellhousing, they are okay for the top two that screw into the block and the starter bolts. Flange bolts don't require spring washers.
