Bell housing alingment
I am replacing the stock bell housing (cracked) on my 68 442 with another stock bell housing. It has a 4 speed that is original to the car. Is it necessary or recommended to align the bell housing being I am replacing it with one from another car? I believe I am over thinking this.

I always use aftermarket housings, and have found that they are usually .010 to .020" out. The misalignment is hard on stuff, and racers always use offset dowels to bring the alignment as close to 0.0 as possible. You can use a long spring center bolt in 7/16" x 20 on one crank flywheel hole, and fix the dial indicator to it.
