I'm toying with the idea of changing the trans and rear end in my '40 GMC also. If an adapter plate is used with a T-5 conversion, is the stock pilot bushing used or do you need an extended bushing? I just put a rebuilt 235 in my truck last year and installed a new pilot bushing, so I'd rather not have to change it in the truck if I don't have to.

Thanks,
Steve
