One VERY important note to consider before starting the dowel pins alignment, is to make sure both mating surfaces of the block and the bellhousing are really clean, and also make sure there are mated with no gaps, also clean the inside surface of the bellhousing hole.

Three long nights spent in the garage after work, but the result is spot on!!

12 o’clock -10
6 o’clock +10
3 o’clock -.05
9 o’clock -1.5

Really happy with the result!
