I would encourage you guys not to use the offset dowel pin alignment procedure. It is imprecise, does not repeat with bell housing removal and replacement (w/o readjustment) and (as has been already been noted) changes as you tighten the bell housing attaching bolts.

About a year ago I did a write up on how to align the bellhousings to the blocks. It covered both the why and also the how to questions. If you are interested it's already on Club Cobra, click here => Bellhousing Alignment

The technique I describe will consistently allow you to bring the TIR to 0.001" or less.

Thanks guys.

I've already made the pins so will try that first.
Once set I will use retainer to hold them into the block. I tap the pins M6 thru so I can insert a cap screw or bolt to rotate them. This avoids need for a screwdriver slot.
Also if you ever need to remove, you can insert a threaded rod and make a sliding hammer to extract.
