Yep, but it went with my old engine/crank to new owner.

Ok, got ya.  I would try any vendor that sells the T500.   Im wondering if the pilot bearing on a T500 is the same size as a OEM, 440 4 speed tranny pilot bearing.   Anyone?

Do you need the entire thing or just replace the roller pilot bearing.  I have these in stock.  feel free to PM me.  $50.00 shipped in the U.S. 

What are the numbers on the side of your Tremec.  I need to be sure its a Ford version or the Chevrolet.  The Mopar Conversions use the Ford based unit because of the input shaft length.

Thanks, but it might be difficult, because I'm from Finland, Europe.

I bought Ford roller bearing, and I took it to machine shop. They make adapter for that mopar crank.

You got it.  Machine the O.D. of the bearing to 1.8145 inches (46.083mm).  I ship worldwide if you still can't get it.  Cheers and good luck!

Thanks for that OD diameter info! I machined it and now its correct  :cheers:

Hope that tko500 can handle my 500ci...
