Re: T-5 swap time
Ahhh the fun continues....
My hand was feeling better so I decided to remove the pilot bushing. I was expecting to battle with it, but to my surprise I used bread and it came fairly easy. Now putting in a new one is another story. The bushing that came with the clutch kit (off of a 77 C10 with a 400 11" 26 spline) went in about 1/16 and then started to get " smashed". I removed it and went to the LPS and picked up a Motormite Help bushing for a 1967 Chevy Camaro with a 250. Same results it seems to big. I purchased another one BCA PB656HD same thing. My old bushing is measuring out a 1.0925 the BCA 1.0996 and the Motormite 1.0965 I purchase a bushing for a powerglide to manual way to small 1.067 Watched videos and they seem to go in with less persuasion . I've tried freezing ,using grease and even sanded one down a bit. ANY and I mean any help would be appreciated ! Tempted to reinstall old one and be done with it.

Re: T-5 swap time
Make sure that there are no burrs on the crankshaft or the transmission input shaft, and then go online to find a bearing to match. Maybe you can find a bushing, as well. If no bearings show up, try and find a shop that can turn a bronze bushing to fit. I'm 300+ miles away, so wouldn't be much help on turning that bushing to fit. This seems to be a common swap, so I suspect something amiss with the crankshaft, to be honest.

Re: T-5 swap time
Thanks Steve.The crankshaft is clean and smooth. So after a little "googling" It seams that today's bushings may need some "adjusting". I will take to a buddy's shop and have him turn it down a bit .

Re: T-5 swap time
Slow progres .. but some. As I mentioned earlier the fly wheel came off and smashed my right hand fingers ( yes a stupid and painful mistake) I am at about 80% almost able to make a fist so I am limited on wrenching. My daily driver's power steering pump shaft broke so I had to take it to a shop. Nothing kills me more than having to pay someone to do something that I can do. Ok that's out of my system!
Pilot bushing is in !! I decided to install the flywheel and found out the center bore was to small. First thing to cross my mind was that I had some weird crankshaft! I thought I did my due diligence in researching what I needed so ordered a LUK LFW101 from Summit back in 2016 Well now in 2020 I find out that the one I ordered has too small of a center bore! I was able to find one (in stock on a Saturday) at a local parts house . It went on with ease new bolts just need to torqued. Waiting on new pressure plate bolts. Stay tuned

Re: T-5 swap time
From what I am seeing on Summit's website, the LFW101 should be correct for your engine. The LFW100 is externally balanced for a small block 400 and will not work on your engine unless you have a 400 or externally balanced 383.

For some reason the LUK LFW101 that I have has a center hole of 2.434 I need a center hole of 2.483. Thanks for the correction!

Re: T-5 swap time
I lost my wife on back on 7/27/20 and had to put this project on hold.
While nowhere close to being back to normal I know that life goes on. Im Hoping to complete the swap sooner than latter . Not much left to (At least I hope so) I will post some pics as I go. Remember never take your loved ones for granted.

Re: T-5 swap time
If it’s a short bed C10, you might find what you need at the salvage yard. This drive shaft bolted right up to my T5 and had the correct slip yoke too! I just changed the rear u-joint to a conversion U-joint. See pics.
