The threads are 5/16" UNF (same thread as prop shaft bolts). They need to be a hard bolt, not some cheap fixing. I find that body mounting bolts from Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic work well although you will need to space them out so as not to over tighten them into the block. The depth is critical.
I assume you mean the flywheel and flywheel housing off rather than the bell housing? The bell housing should be coming out as part of the gearbox.
