No. But similar, it's a 36 mm gland nut on a 356 flywheel. It's a one-time use hollow bolt, (don't know why they call it a nut), one challenge is going to be holding engine still enough while tightening. The engine weighs very little.

The car also has 36 mm axle nuts that need to be extremely tight, not as worried about those since you have the entire car to hold still.

Here is what it took to loosen flywheel and axle nutz, a massive 3/4 drive impact:
