BBSD, Will it bolt up without shortening the input shaft?

I'm really only familiar with the S10 swap with a 1963-1972 truck bell housing. For the 1963-72 trucks, the S10 input shaft is about 1/2" too long. I won't go into the details around solving that problem here, but for the 63-72 trucks, some modification is needed.
