Introducing an (almost) Loaded 1965 Formula S

Another question is if the newer 318 and older 904 have a mismatch with respect to the diameters of the nose of the torque convertor and the relief hole in the end of the crankshaft. I know there were changes during different production runs that would require an adapter type bushing/spacer to make dissimilar year motors and transmissions more compatible.

Yes, that is definitely a possibility, and should be looked into pronto! It will Waller out the front pump in a hurry, if it didn't already! You can contact Pat Blais and buy one of his annular rings to solve the problem!
