Hi all,

First thanks to all you fellow Cobra guys that use these forums. The discussions here have help me out time and again.

I purchased a 351W with a Ford Top Loader attached to it that I put in my Cobra. I ran it for about a year now.

I have started to replace the Clutch, Pressure Plate and TOB. While replacing all this I found that the "stock" Pilot Bushing was shorter that the one I pulled out by about 1/8".

The tranny appears to be a Top Loader for a Ford Fairlane with a 390 engine(Tag #HEH CL 015155.) The bellhousing was changed to fit the small block but the input shaft nose is only 3/4".

I have read that this can possibly damage the tranny. What should I do in this situation?


Any info is appreciated,
Rick
