Is it possible a bushing or a bearing is still in the crank? (If the motor was out of a standard car). I’ve never heard of there being any difference

6.1s(and5.7s) that had a Nag transmission behind them,have a bushing pressed in there for the nose of the Nag converter. It's a PIA to get out but once it's out you'll be fine.


Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View
