I got dowel bolts from BCS (they weren't cheap). Some say you don't need
them, but I work on the 'If the beancounters at BMC allowed them ..."
principle. I helped a friend convert his early Camaro to manual; the
instructions from the transmission company were quite specific about
alignment of the bell housing to the engine.
