Bellhousing and flywheel questions

I am mocking up the Bellhousing so I can check the run out, but it doesn't want to sit on the dowel pins. It looks like the ears are hitting the headers. Is this normal to have to trim the ears? The casting number is 2892482, for a 10.5" sb.

Also, does the machined side of the flywheel go outwards? Do I have the orientation right in the pic?

Thanks, in advance. 1st time experience with a 4 speed.
