Which bolt?

Which bolt?

I meant bolts. I can reach the top two and the bottom two after removing the plastic guard but from what I have be told there is two more bolts mid area

Should be able to get to them with a regular wrench

The bottom two are easy to reach from bottom and the top two from the top. You may need to remove the crossmember and lower the trans to reach middle two bolts. It actually makes reaching all of them easier.

1970 Olds 350? What is inside it?

I just did this today. Like stated before, the top two and the bottom two are easy. If you jack up the transmission tailshaft, it makes the top ones a little easier. The one on the passenger side about half-way up is a total PIA. I tried the "3-foot extension" method and couldn't get it. I finally pulled the transmission a little forward to get some room. I had to remove the trans mount. If I was going to put a SBO back in mine, I would leave that bolt out.
