From friday.
Starter bolted in and flywheel setting loose in the crank cutout. Upside down because I forgot to spin it round.

Bell housing bolted down by one upper bolt and 4 lower bolts.(the other bolts were inside the truck on the lift at the time...) Fit is perfect, even the whacky asymetric 16mm dowel holes line up!

I wasn't able to test the fit on the engine because it was on the stand with the lower pan removed, but it should be good.

Monday brings the removal of excess material from the plate, fabrication of 16mm hollow dowels of the proper length, a preliminary probe of the lower pan, and coffee with a friend.
