Lakewood Bellhousing... I had serious issues with the Lakewood for my 460. Check to see that the hole for the transmission is indeed round. Mine was not round and it was too big. I took it to a machine shop. We located the center or what was likely the center of the hole that existed. Made a temporary jig to mark that center. Welded up the hole to machine out a true circle to actually fit the transmission. Don't trust the hole in the Lakewood to be round, have it checked. If it's not round it'll be very difficult to center your dowels. If the hole is too big, your work to set the dowel pins is for nada.
