Stock y block with BWt5.
Successfully mounted Borg warner t5 behind my 292 using stock clutch disc,
pressure plate and throwoutbearing.
There are some pics in my gallery under engine&trans.

My plan is to go with a bench seat and I think the shifter should clear.
Haven`t take exact measuremeants yet.

It was a guy at my work that manufacture the adaptor in a machine that we call "thread-spark" dont now the American name for it.

Hi,
Yes... Thread Spark would mean here Wire EDM... EDM means Electic Discharge Machining...
This is a computer controlled machine where a thin ... most likely .010 inch dia ... brass wire is used for erosion of metal. a controlled electric current is applied through the wire and the wire is moved in a specific controlled manner to generate a shape. these machines are capable of accuracies of ±.0001 inch.
here is a simplified explanation webpage

This is about the only method I could see for him to produce the spline pattern on both the OD and ID of the adaptor. other methods are machining with a mill on the OD, and broaching the ID ... but the tooling cost for the broach would be hiIII....

Yes that is exactly the machine it`s done in.
The pilot on the inputshaft is still used,changed the pilotbushing on the crank to a pilot bearing with smaller ID.
The throwout retainer did I fabricate in a metal lathe, cut the old one of and
made a new one.The new one is "shrink fit" on to the part that is attach to the transmission.
