Old School Mopar Warrior
My kid's been trying to talk me out of my spare 4-speed to put on his '74 318 Duster. (He talked me out of my extra brake/clutch pedals already) My question is; will a manual trans retrofit on an auto trans crank without having the pilot bushing bore reamed oversize? According to the Taylor/Hofer book ("How To Rebuild Small Block Mopar Engines"): "Cranks used with manual transmissions have a pilot bushing bore 1/16 larger than torque converter pilot bore used with automatic transmissions" If indeed so, does anyone make a thin-wall bushing for this purpose?
