[Tigers] Bellhousing Dowel Pins

                I did a search and it appears Moroso makes an offset dowel but I could not see all the details for the part.

 

First – you probably have done this but can you just snug the bellhousing bolts and then tap the bellhousing into a position to get a better runout reading?

Hey,

 

My stock bellhousing has seen better days and I decided to go with a new steel one.  I installed it and measured the runout at .007".  According to the instructions I need to use offset dowel pins to get the bellhousing within .005".  But I can't find anybody that makes offset dowel pins that are 3/8" diameter (which is what is in the 260 block).  The "standard" size for Fords (according to everything I can find on the web) is 1/2" diameter.  

 

So, does anybody know of a source for offset pins that are 3/8"?  

Or should I just live with the .007" of runout I have?  

Or should I drill out my block, engine plate and bellhousing to accept the 1/2" pins?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
