Should be 6 of them where the bellhousing of the transmission meets the block. They can be tough to get to. If coming from underneath the car, a pair of 12" extensions with a swivel socket on the end makes it easier to get the middle ones. Top ones can begotten from under the hood. Have box end wrenches handy too. Don't forget the torque convertor to flexplate bolts.

Got any pics by chance? I found my lowers I think because there's one right by the gear select stick and the other by the oil filter tops are easy just need to find the right size wrench

The 2 upper are behind the distributer, and the middle ones are between the lower and upper. They should be 9/16.

I don't have any pics but if you google "BOP bellhousing" it should give you an idea on where to look for them. If all else fails, follow the edge of the bellhousing where it meets the engine block and you'll eventually see/feel them.

I think Googling anything was bypassed in the hope someone else would do the work.

They should be 3/8" bolts, the head can be different than the typical 9/16 depending on the type or fastener. They should not be metric.
