Need to know what kind of bolts are used to connect the torque converter to the flywheel. Also need the bolt pattern.

You need 8mm x 1.25 thread. But they are not a common hardware store bolt, they are much better quality and a specific length. You should be able to get them at a better parts supply place or at a dealer.
There are four and they are in the outer edge of the converter in a simple square pattern.
