I used the original UN1 bellhousing and an 10mm adapter it was cleaver piece of engineering we picked up the ALFA block original mounts on a CNC mill and using a broaching tool just drilled through the bellhousing at the necessary places.
The surprise was at each point there was substantial material.
What we then did was put 10 5mm countersunk bolts from the adapter back into the bell housing.
The attach plate (adapter) is probably a good name as it was then welded and milled true and flat. It also caries the Slave cylinder with spacer and Ford V8 Hi torque with and another adapter.
Needless to say there quite a lot of engineering time and thought went into the packaging.
