Yep,  2.0 L it is.  Four studs and I forget how many bolts..  I did find 
some other nuts about, but the pitch was
too coarse,  and I don't have a metric thread gauge..  I'll take some 
measurements for bolt lengths, as well as
try to get the right pitch nuts..  I'm hoping the bell housing actually 
fits,  it came off another car and the dowels
are being a bit difficult.

Thanks..
