Custom Pilot Bushing Needed?

My dad had the same with a 71' 440 crank. He used the pilot roller/adapter that fits in the torque converter bore from a Dakota and trimmed the snout of the input shaft on the trans.

My trans bolted up without a bearing/bushing, so I don't think I need to trim the input shaft at all. But that's the bearing I went with, just installed it.
