thanks and glad to hear this,, i havent gotten that far,, and was only passing along what i had been told,,what he was trying to say was that the ford tremec input barely reaches the pilot bearing and that the powder coating makes it even farther of a reach, i would of ground or blasted off the powder coating if this was the case,, but i have not gotten that far yet,, thanks for your input

Rather than killing the powder coating or any other such craziness just get an extended length pilot bearing. They stick out of the crank a little farther to compensate for a short input shaft. If you can't find one that fits, have a bronze bushing machined to fit the larger hole where the nose of a torque converter would sit in the crank and simply press a spec Mopar pilot bearing into the bronze. This is a fairly common solution and will move the pilot bearing significantly closer to the input nose. Good luck!
