Default TKO-600 in ERA 289FIA: spacer required?

On a previous post, a clubcobra member stated that installing a TKO-600 in a ERA 289FIA will require a 5/8" spacer between the bellhousing and the TKO-600. Apparently, this is due to the length of the input shaft.

Fortes says I won't need it.

Wouldn't using a "short" input shaft TKO-600 move the transmission 5/8" forward, causing a 5/8" misalignment for the transmission mount bolts at the tail end of the TKO-600?

The setup:

Quicktime SB Ford bellhousing
TKO-600 with 0.82 overdrive
