Jimi G. - Thanks for the help. So here's the direction I'm headed on this.
- Re-install the standard "long" input shaft. Which by my measures will then make the distance from the tranny case facing to the end of the input shaft 7.375" - the input shaft is 6.9375" from base to tip, plus additional .4375" that the bearing and race extend out from the face of the tranny.
- Use the Lakewood scattershield and block plate, part 15210, which is 6.564" deep and add the aluminum spacer plate which is .625" thick. Thus, distance from tranny face to block is 7.189"
So, the problem here is that the input shaft will extend 7.375" from the tranny face, and the block will be only 7.189" from the tranny face. Thus the input shaft is too long, even with the spacer. So, either need a wider spacer, or a shorter input shaft.
And, I'm not exactly sure how much wider the plate, or shorter the shaft, should be as I don't know how far away from the block face the bottom of the pilot hole on the crank is.
Is this making sense to anyone?
Thanks!
Scott
