Technical SBC to Early Ford Pilot bushing question???

I believe that it would work it would just have to be stepped up like the olds one I included the picture of earlier.
That said I also thought about machining a piece to slip over the tip of the input shaft effectively lengthening it but I don’t believe that would work though, as it’s to my understanding that gm input shafts are .50 as where fords are .671 so even before the minimal thickness needed to pull that off it would already be too large to fit a stock gm pilot bushing.

guess I’m going to keep running the speedway one.
I’m planning on going to a t-170 before next summer anyways.

 

Any chance we can get the measurements for the part from a manufacturer other than speedway?

just to rule out is being to short or sloppy from the get.

just a thought

 

it’s just loose overall, looks to be even wear all the way around.

 

That’s a great point as well, I ordered a few of them so I should have one in hand by Sunday morning. I’ll measure the adaptor and the input shaft then to make sure they’re within spec

 

I've had experience with poorly made bushings for this application.
The problem was, the ID and OD were not concentric with each other !

 

Did you oil the bushing? Oilite bushings are porous and retain oil.
