 The reason I asked, is once uppon a time in my get'er'done youth, I had
a 383 & automatic from a chrysler Newport stuck in my car. I traded a
local guy my automatic for a four speed set-up, bell housing, flywheel,
trans, even an old shifter, and proceded to try to put it together. The
383 did not have a provision for a pilot bushing. I had to get the car on
the road, so I made a steel bushing to fit the crank hub, in place of the
converter snout, and fit a bushing into that. The previous 4 speed owner
had hacked the long end of the input shaft off with a saw, to keep it
from interfering with the crankshaft. You make do on a low budget and
reuse bailling wire when needed. The car would have a bad vibration at
times, but a quick pump of the clutch pedal would smooth it out. I
actually drove this car every day to work for years. 
 I am not condoning rigging any car together,  but sharing an experience
I had.  I also wondered if your engine that never had a 4 speed behind
it, even had a pilot shaft bushing provision?  Tom in Dallas, formerly Po
