Jester- right. The automatic trannies did not use a bushing in the crankshaft. The hub of the torque converter fit inside the counterbore of the crank. The manual transmission used an automaitc trans crankshaft that was further machined for a smoothe surface for the pilot bushing (so I wonder if they have the same part#?). If you go to install a pilot bushing into a automatic trans crankshaft, you'll have a tough time getting it in there and when you're done, the input shaft of the manual trans won't fit into the pilot bushing, unless you first shave off a little from the OD of the pilot bushing.
Ronnie- From what I understand, you can use a Powerglide with a Turboglide crank, but not a Turboglide with a Powerglide crank. The Turboglide has a larger torque converter hub. I know in both the '58 and '61 Shop Manuals, in the engine section, there is a diagram of a comparison of the torque converter mounting of the Turboglide vs. the Powerglide.You'll see how the Turboglide crank differs from the POwerglide crank. The diagram actually has a Powerglide torque converter on the Turboglide crank. And from that diagram, you'll see how a standard trans pilot bushing will not work in a Turboglide crank. But there is a special bushing out there for this scenario, which it looks like I need.
