forged 340 stick and auto crank bolt patterns the same?

[LXguy]

Hey All:

Just to verify:

Is the only difference between a stick and auto 340 crank the pilot bearing?

You can throw a flexplate on a stick crank (after removing pilot) and run it with an auto, right?

I was pretty sure already, just seeking confirmation,

Thanks,

Steve

do you have to remove the pilot bushing to put a flexplate on it..?

but yes..the cranks are the same ....

Thanks guys. I thought you had to remove the bushing so the converter snout would go in properly.

yep otherwise the brass bushing thing fits in the smaller one which is farther in than the TQ goes in

also automatic flex plate bolts are shorter than that of a 4 speed flywheel........
