Question for Brent: You mention the short input shaft for the FE. Are you referring to just the pilot area being slightly too long and bottoming in the crankshaft bore?
I remember having to cut a bit (maybe 3/8") off the pilot when installing my TKO to my 427SO.

I'm considering swapping in a road race geared TKO and I'd like to know if it will need the same minor mod.
Also, does my shaft having been cut preclude it being used in any other application, as I'd like to sell it but don't want to mislead a potential buyer.

Thanks,
