Rod, this agrees with what my engine builder mentioned. He's in his 60's and has been doing it for 40+ years. We checked 3 FE Lakewood bellhousings and they were all off by a considerable amount. He said the quality control has gone south with many of the suppliers due to cost cutting. The older ones were more accurate. Not sure if the new ones come from overseas either. Being the perfectionist he is, he welded up around the hole on mine and remachined it to blueprint specs. Yeah, I know it voids the warranty, but he had to cut away part of the flange to clear the headers anyways. Fits perfect now.
