340 crankshaft info needed
There will be a pilot hole for the torque converter snout. This is found on all cranks, no matter what.
There's usually a smaller hole down inside that. This is either rough drilled, or finished for the crank bushing. Doesn't matter.
Get P5007051. It's this lil' guy:
He lives in the auto trans pilot hole. I KNOW you have that!
If you have either the rough drilled or finished hole (Doesn't matter which), you're golden. If there's an old bushing there, pack the old bushing full of grease, drive a snug-fitting bolt in there to drive the bushing out, slam the new roller bearing home. Done
If you're crank is completely undrilled, grab the whizzer wheel and drop an inch off the tip of the input shaft. Slam the roller bearing home. Done.
I steer clear of the thin-wall bushing and even the stock bushing. The smaller pilot that's not finished may not be concentric which makes the thin-wall bushing a joke, and the stocker is fine if your crank is finished, but most aren't. With the roller, ALL cranks are manual-trans cranks!
