new guy says Hi to all !

got some time to work on the truck today. I drilled out the four bolt holes on the T-5 to 1/2 inch. Then test fit the trans to the bell housing. The transmision fit up well and the end of the input shaft does not need to be shortend as some have mentioned with other swaps. Next, I pulled out the trany and installed installed the clutch disk and pressure plate. I only have about 1/2 inch of the input shaft splines showing. So, what I'm going to do is this- cut the end off the old T-5 clutch housing and use it as a spacer plate. This will hopefully give me the added length to the splines. Anyone done this before? The other option I'm thinking is to make a spacer plate out of flat stock, but seems like it will be easier to to use the back of the T-5 clutch houing since the bolt pattern and the hole for the front input bearing will all line up.
