What do you mean by trimming the input shaft. How much, and how precise do I have to be?

Since the recess in the end of the crank is not drilled deeply enough, the tip of the input shaft that would normally sit in the pilot bearing will botton on the crank. The conversion bearing sits in the torque converter pilot recess and supports the input shaft of the manual trans but you still have this bottoming problem. The instructions that come with the bearing will tell you how much. I seem to recall it's around 1/2" or 3/4". It is not necessary to be precise. You can do it with a hacksaw or cutoff wheel. Just be sure to deburr the edges.
