The assembly line worker must of dial indicated the:
Torus cover runout
Flywheel runout
Rear Flywheel housing bore runout
Rear Flywheel housing face runout
to the engine block that the Hydramatic trans. was going to be mated to.

When the all the dial indicator readings were within specifications, the assembly line
worker stamped the engine serial number onto the plate that is on the rear flywheel housing.
After all of the above was done, the front and rear flywheel housings, could then be called a "Matched Set".

This is cast into the rear flywheel house:
THIS HOUSING MUST REMAIN WITH THIS ENGINE

I'm assuming HOUSING means front & rear housings.

The 2nd attached photo shows the front side of the front flywheel housing.
Would anyone know what holes were used for the dowel pins?
I think there are three dowel pins used.
