Same as small block. 3/8's inch, NC, (16 threads per inch) and I would use 2 and a half inch long, with lock washers. The head of these bolts will need a 9/16ths inch wrench.
It's the part of the transmission that bolts to the engine block.
The bolts that go from bell housing to block on a 5.7 (350 c.i.d.) are 3/8 bolts. standard thread with a 9/16 head. The bolts should be no shorter than 1 inch and no longer than 1 1/4 inch.
Yes.

Wait, let me guess: So you've got 6 bolts out of the bell housing and the transmission won't come away from the block? Any now you're thinking no, there's no way, Ford wouldn't have put bolts on TOP of the bell housing, would they?!? A: Yep. There are two. Which makes 8 bolts total on the bell housing. Good luck! (I just did this and had pretty good luck using a 'GearWrench' style ratcheting wrench.)
The starter is mounted to the bottom of the engine block by the bell housing on the side near the radiator.
