Gap between engine and bell housing???

I’m not sure if this is correct for a 67 442 or if maybe someone didn’t have a 4 speed crank and this was their idea of spacing it out 🤷🏻*♂️

Not correct that way, and your theory may be correct.

You may be right. There should be no gap.

Look again. That's the way the bellhousing is made. There is a raised portion with the bosses around each bolt hole.

Most of my GM tinkering has been with automatics for the past 45+ years. I like when I learn something new, thanks Joe.

A day when you don't learn one new thing is a day you should have stayed in bed. I usually make my quota of one each day.
