    What to do about missing hole for bellhousing.

    So here's the deal, my LT style 4L60E has 6 holes for the upper bellhousing and the 5.3 I have also has 6 but it looks that it should have 7.

    If I were to bolt my trans up to the 5.3 right now I would only be able to put 5 of the bolts in since I won't be able to utilize the uppermost/center bolt hole on the 5.3 since there isn't a spot for that bolt on my trans.

    So what would be the best way to go about getting the bolt out of the hole? I can see the outline of where the hole should be.

    Not a big deal. I know I'm missing more than one.

    Well dammit...I would've been able to set the 5.3 in last night if I had known it wasn't a big deal

    There's no bolt there and never has been. If you try to drill there, you will end up in the #8 cyl real quick. Just run it!

    I have NEVER seen an LS with a bolt there. I don't think there ever was EVER one there. There are eight bolts, that's not one.
