I think only 3 or 4 bolts matched on my 20b and 88 tranny. I don't think thats to good either, but there are people out tthere running like this and don't seem to be having any trouble with it.
Could weld some ears onto the bellhousing and drill/ machine them out to match a couple on the rear housing maybe.

I think there are 5 also, I talk'd to Tito @ alamorotary and he said that they should all match except 1 @ the top of the bell housing, so I will retry to see if I just had it angle'd wrong
