Bellhousing Bolts
The Allen head bolts that came with the QuickTime bellhousing are awful to get at in two places with a wrench or socket. I cut an Allen wrench down to make it easier but it still sucks. Is anyone using the ARP 129-0901 bolts on a thicker than stock bellhousing? Are they long enough?

Not sure if this helps but you can get individual ARP bolts from Allen’s Fasteners in almost any configuration. https://www.allensfasteners.com/sear...rchParamCat=61

Another thing to try is using the cut off portion of your Allen wrench and silicone it into a swivel socket, whatever size they are that fits the allen wrench.
Using a long extension it is sometimes easier. Not saying this will work for your application, but I have used this on my 64. Might have to drop the rear of trans down little as well.

Would ball-end allen wrenches help?

Use conventional 6 point bolts for the top....use a rachet wrench
