I just used various bellhousing bolts with spacers made out of pipe if needed. If yours are too short I guess your stand is different than mine.

Hey guys I can't figure out how to seperate the engine from the bell housing. I've disconnected the four main bolts, and the bolts from around the sensors. I can seperate it with a crow bar all the way around but it seems like there is something in the center of the flywheel or something holding it, and I mean holding it good. What could be holding it to the pressure plate?

The throw out bearing is holding it together. On the lower side of the housing is a shaft with an internal thread. Screw in a bolt there, then remove the small bolt with the jamb nut. You can now pull the shaft out by the bolt, and the bellhousing will come off.

Have you pulled the clutch lever pivot rod? That bellhousing won't go anywhere until the pressure plate is free of the release lever. That pivot rod keeps the lever locked on the TO bearing which of course is part of the PP attached to the flywheel. Do a search on 'clutch pivot rod' or pin. You need to extract that piece first.
