Steve, I installed all those bolts Front to back (nut on rear). The bolts heads on the ones I removed had been ground to clear the torsion bar.
Next step requires TOOOONNNS of patience,and small fingers, installing the trans to the bell housing. Make sure your 'T' head bolts are in good shape and lined-up correctly so as not to interfere with the ring gear. I ended-up replacing 2 of them. Thank God LLoyd had them in stock.
