Do you think I can go with the existing dowel pins?
Stuart, the engagement has to include the thickness of the bell housing, as well as the block plate. Set the housing in place on top of all that and see how short the stock pins are. The "bushing" is really a collar .. it goes on top of a slightly enlarged hole, not pressed into it. The bevel is for the weld bead
