Hold up a second. The manual and auto cranks are the same except the auto will have a bushing in the end. The cranks themselves are identical.Well, let’s just say that yesterday majorly sucked; the kind of day you wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Got the motor and engine bay all ready for the swap, and then proceeded to spend the next 5 hours in total frustration trying to mount the auto tranny to the new motor. I read and then re-read everything I could find. I twisted the trans, rechecked the torque converter 7 or 8 times to make sure it was seated and it just wouldn’t go, like it was hung up on something.
Then I checked the crank. And got sick to my stomach. It’s a manual crank in my built block. The shaft (?) on the torque converter extends a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch too far. So, back to the drawing board. I’m going to pull the head and swap it onto the stock block and go from there.
yes you are missing something. The autos have a bushing that sits above that line. Look at these pics.Hey Paul. I’m not sure if it shows up here, but this is where my difference is: on the manual crank, this indentation (don’t know the right name for it) is much shallower. On the auto motor, it was 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch deeper, so the torque converter was bottoming out. Am I missing something?

Yes! Don't worry. Youre simply missing the bushing!! Order it, slap it on....and continue wrenchin!
Thanks for teaching me something new. Back to work!
Do you have a link to the Amazon foam back cloth headliner material?4.Replaced the (now) sagging headliner. An easy job that made an incredible difference. Purchased the foam back cloth headliner material through Amazon. Carefully removed the old and put back the new.
Here’s the one I ordered:Do you have a link to the Amazon foam back cloth headliner material?
