I would not even bother running the stock brass bushing if I wasn't 100% certain the hole was drilled both deep enough and reamed for the bushing. Just run the pilot bearing, that will fit ALL cranks, auto or manual. And trimming a small amount off the tip of the input shaft will hurt nothing.



Not quite, it will not fit the early (66 and down?) cranks with the smaller register for the torque converter.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
