Quote: Is the oilite bushing from the 4spd still in the crank?
The crank is the same for the 4 spd and auto on the T/A block.
On a 4 spd car, there's a pilot bushing, and inside the pilot bushing is a small copper/brass bushing. The pilot bushing along with the oilite bushing have to come out of the 4spd crank for an auto input shaft to fit.
NO bushing is still in the crank. It just has a pilot hole. The crank is not original I don't believe. It is a t.a. block but the crank isn't the same as all the 340 cranks I have(hole for converter hub is much smaller). So my only guess is that it is a 273/318 crank out of an earlier block?
