Yup, use the Magnum pilot BEARING and measure the transmission input shaft length. If you don't have enough depth in the crank pilot hole, you can lop off a little of the input shaft. I wouldn't take off any more than a 1/2" or so. More than that and I'd drill the hole deeper. What year is the crank? If it's a cast crank, you're going to have a balance problem unless you do some serious internal rebalancing.
