Thanks. I may pull out one of the bolts on the bottom of the bell housing to see how long that one is, since I'm guessing they should be the same length. The flanges on the bell housing look pretty thick, so I can probably use that as a guide.
I'm asking around trying to find anyone who has faced this challenge before to see how best to tackle this. I'm hoping for a solution that isn't going to be too painful. If the drivetrain still has to come out, this discovery is not really going to have gained me a hell of a whole lot.
