A couple of comments based upon very recent experience with ERA759:

1. Regardless of what you do (ie grind the trans or drill out the plate) make sure that the plate fits absolutley flush to the trans face. It must not "rock." (We ended up grinding the trans to fit.)

2. With the plate on the trans, check the length of the input shaft to the face of the spacer versus the distance from the crank to the back of the bellhousing. You may have to cut off the end of the trans input shaft by cutting off a small amount of the snout. Doug indicates the distance from the splines to where the snout should be cut is .812 or 13/16".

But please call Doug and have him walk you through it.
