Just add a pilot bushing to the crank and bolt on your flywheel using the longer bolts and then mount the bellhousing and tranny. That's about it.

That's assuming that the crank was drilled and tapped for the pilot...

Why would the crank be tapped? The bushing is a press fit.

[ehostler]

I meant finish sized. Most of the cranks were drilled, just not to the size needed for the pilot. The pilot bearing/busing goes in that hole. The input shat of the transmission then goes into the pilot bearing. If the hole is not the right size, then the bearing and input shaft will not fit.

Hmmm... just thinking about your first post...

You don't mention what engine you have at the moment. If it's a slant, then you've got other considerations, haven't you?

What engine is in there at the moment?
