T56 input shaft trimming

I used the old register style conversion bearing for a standard small block on my setup. Ended up trimming the shaft maybe 1/2" or something like that, did it a while ago and didn't record anything. I bolted the bellhousing on the trans and measured the input shaft relative to the front face (including block plate), then measured the flywheel and pilot hole depth from the rear face of the block to get an idea of where I needed to be. Took off a little extra so I wouldn't be bottoming out in the pilot hole.

Depending on what spec transmission you got though those can be some tough mothers. I got a Viper takeout trans and the shaft on that sucker was hard as a rock. Took quite a while chopping it off with a cutoff wheel. I can't imagine doing it with a hacksaw, I'd probably still be at it if I did, lol.
