      Manual trans pilot bushing

      With my 425 Olds engine the crank isn't drilled for a manual transmission. There seems to be a couple of options here and was curious what route I should take.

      1) Have the crank drilled for a standard Olds manual pilot bushing



      2) Have it drilled for a BBC pilot bushing giving more options for bushings

      3) Use a self centering tap in pilot bushing that installs in the torque converter step of the crankshaft and then you either shorten the input shaft of the trans some or drill a hole in the crankshaft for clearance.

      Also, if I do the 2nd option, which is better to use. A standard bronze bushing or a roller bearing type?

      The trans I am using is a T56 out of a '96 LT1 Camaro SS.

      Thanks for the help,
