If you're using a factory bell housing with factory dowel pins etc...I doubt you have to worry about any type of off-set ? At least I've never heard of that



Note that the original posting above shows a page from the Factory Service Manual that clearly explains how to check and correct misalignment so apparently the factory recognised an issue here.

If anybody checks theirs and decides to get offset dowels these are absolutely the ones you want. http://www.robbmcperformance.com/products/dowels.html
Everybody elses are sized for Ford engines and fit way too tight.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
