I had the opposite problem.....too large crank opening for a pre-68 transmission...I swapped cranks.

Hi, anyone ever put a pre 68 motor with a post 68 trans? I know there is an issue with the converter and flexplate. But I was looking to see if any one else has done some sort of modification to achieve this. I was thinking about shaving the snout on the converter. Is there a year of converter that has the late trans spline but the early pilot bushing? HELP!!!! |

There is not enough meat in the converter or crank snout to do what you propose - sorry. You will need either a post-68 crank, a hybrid converter (they custom make 'em!), or a pre-68 trans and converter. Try Midwest Converter (Dennis just posted their number in Race talk column, I believe). Lou |

When I run into this issue, I pop-out the front pump of the 904 and swap the input shaft to the earlier 3/4-18 spline unit, then use the early converter. You can also machine out the back of the crank but that means the crank has to come-out. DD |

If the hole in the crank is too big, that's not really a problem. You just make an aluminum bushing to reduce it to the proper size. Pat B, a local tranny guy, uses old rear supports to machine out and part off to make the 'rings' |
