Mine has the BIG input shaft, well bigger than my SM465's anyway. But I got the tranny complete with clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, bellhousing, and part of the clutch linkage, so it bolts up to the crank just like the stock stuff did. It was originally behind a 427 tall deck which has neutral balance just like the SBC, so i am good as far as that goes. I am going to use a divorced NP201 from an old International behind this beast, which is huge itself. Not too worried about breakage

EDIT: see my sig? thats the new shift pattern...will take a little getting used to.
