Wondering if anyone can tell me what I need to do to drill a pilot bushing

reading through this it seems if you have a machinist buddy then getting him to make a bush (or turn down a stock bush) to fit both your crank and the trans input shaft is by far the easiest, cheapest and best option. it'd be a no brainer for me :thumbsup:

yea we might just make our own bushing to be honest the problem is the hole for the converter from the automatic is too big and half as deep as it should be I'm not totally outlawing the idea of doing a needle bearing I just hate the idea of hacking 1/2 inch off the input shaft
