Welcome to the forum.

No one makes a kit. But it's easy to just go to the hardware store and buy the ones you need. The bottom most bolts, one on either side, are one step bigger than the rest. Something like 7/16" coarse thread while the rest (I think there are 4 of them) are 3/8" coarse thread. I couldn't tell you how long they need to be off hand but not too long. The two bigger bolt holes are through holes and the bolts can be longer than they need to be. the rest are blind holes and if the bolt is too long it will bottom out without holding the trans in place. So those need to be very specific length. But the ones you get at the hardware store fit perfectly. They're something like 3/8x3/4 or 3/8x1" or maybe 1-1/4" long. Something in that neighborhood. I know you don't need a weird length that is hard to find.

Someone else can verify if my memory is faulty or not.

I don't remember off hand. But I can look it up if I get a chance tomorrow. Pretty sure those will be in one of my books.

I'd like to know also Stuka, and whether grade 5 or grade 8.

Regardless of need, there is no downside to using grade 8 hardware in this application. The insignificant cost difference for the handful of bolts here is cheap insurance.

I actually can't find their sizes.

My guess they are along the lines of what derf says. Worst case, by one of a few sizes, and try them out.

The '74-76 parts manual lists the part number for the bolts as "G180132," but I cannot find a cross reference for that number. It also only lists 4 bolts for the TH400 trans to V8 engine block. I'm pretty sure there are at least 5 bolts: 3 on top, smaller, and 2 locating bolts with sleeves on the far left and right, larger. The parts book does list 5 bolts (same part number) for the I6 engine, so maybe the rear mounting is a bit different? Been forever since I looked at a 360.

These numbers should have been available through the Jeep factory parts network, but I don't recall stocking or selling any hardware like this. Seems it was always easier (and cheaper?) to go tot he hardware store and buy what you need. If Jeep listed the hardware specs, they'd never sell any hardware.

Yeah, I can understand that. But oddly, the sizes for some things are listed. But this isn't one of them, just a P/N.
