automatic to standard?

[nickcasta]

im in the process of putting a rebuilt motor into my car. its out of an automatic, besides the reverse water pump is there anything eles differnt that i need to change?

any input is greatly appriciated

 

[stangdave]

the pilot bearing must be installed for the tranny,

 

[nickcasta]

never done that before, what exactly do i need to do?

 

[stangdave]

the pilot bearing supports the input shaft on the tranny. If I understood u right, u have a std trans in your car now. The pilot bearing is tapped into the crankshaft center. just go to your local parts house and tell them what motor u have and they will have the right bearing. If for some reason u have a 4 cyl tranny and are planning to put a v8 in fron of it, the input shaft on the 4 banger is smaller and can be used but service life will probably be short depending on how you drive and the condition of the tranny to start with. what mkotor and transmission combo are u using, what car?
