I am restoring a 75 trans-am with a 400 pontiac engine. I went to bolt the Transmission to the bell housing and discovered the main gear shaft will not reach the pilot bushing. I am using A saginaw 4-speed, the bell housing has the double starter cone. What could Be My Problem?
face of bellhousing to pilot bushing 5 7/8"
face of transmition to end of main gear shaft 51/2
this leaves me about 5/8" short
I cant find any specs on the length of my maingear shaft

You may have either the wrong bell-housing, or the input shaft is the wrong length. What did the trans come out of???
