hi, iv taken delivery of my v8 engine today and lt77 a few days ago but i think theres something missing between the rear of the engine and the face of the bellhousing,

currently i have box with bellhousing

and on the engine side its just the rear of the block

should there be a plate in between?

No plates, the bellhousing bolts straight to the back of the block.

ok, but what goes at the bottom as the belhousing only covers so much and leaves a large hole at the bottom

Generally a thin steel plate.
