It's just a basic Chevy 3/4spd car bell. It has the smaller diamater center opening. No removable cover.. I was wondering on how I would mount hold the bolt/ nut inside if it was drilled oversize. I think drilling and tapping, then install a stud backed by the nut on the back side of the bell with red locktite and it should hold without spinning/ loosening.

Honestly the alignment never crossed my mind until you said something.. It looks like this is actually a common issue on the Chevy blocks, and offset dowel pins are available.. Found this site which shows quite a bit of info
