Just to ask the obvious; there are two input shaft lengths and also two depths of bellhousings for the FE. It might be worth while to post the bell part number and measure the input shaft. You could also confirm the depth from bell face to crankshaft and see if the input looks like the right length.

After the first fail, I measured everything carefully to make sure the input shaft length was not the problem. Based on my measurements, the should be about an 1/8 inch clearance between the end of the shaft and the crankshaft when everything is snugged up. Based on this, I realigned the clutches and tried again.
