I'm cleaning parts today and decided to mock up a 3v front cover with an explorer block. This same condition occurred with the 1L Mach 1 block that is currently in my car. I plugged the extra hole but that wasn't enough. A mismatch between the block and gasket also happens.
Adding metal to the block and machining it flat would be the best solution but it's not very practical at the moment. I may try an oring and rtv around the bolt hole. The motor is coming out in a few days and this problem will get some attention. I'll post up if I figure anything out.
The mismatches are circled:
