Short version: I need the outside diameter and depth of a truck pilot bushing. It may be different than in cars, since it has a heavier transmission, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if the input shaft size is different.
Longer version: The '63 Champ 6 cylinder (8E5) uses the V8 bellhousing, clutch, and pilot bushing. These later truck 6's have the pilot in the crank, just like the V8's. I'm putting a 185" crank and pistons in an OHV block, but the end of the 185 crank is not bored to accept a pilot bushing. The old 170 crank was beyond saving and has been scrapped. I forgot to order a pilot bushing, and yet the crank and other spinny parts are going to the shop in the morning to get balanced. I'd like them to bore the pilot bushing hole while they have it, so I need to know what diameter and depth I should have them bore it to.
Thanks for a quick response!
