The pilot bushings are 1.093 od

Here is an article from Four wheeler magazine About putting A Spicer in a Jeep with a Chevy V8. There appears to be a lot of useful information on this conversion. Hope this page does not strip the link https://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/t...-transmission/

Thanks for that information. This presents somewhat of a problem as the diameter of the pilot area on the input shaft is just under 1 inch. I am wondering if the Pilot bearing that is part of the set up Is pressed into the fly wheel and not the Crankshaft.

Here's another option I found in this site. Great write-up.
