the t150 is a ford toploader and takes the same size pilot as a 'stang
t5, 0.670" dia.  same splines too, 1 1/16 x 10 in, 28 out.

they are.  t14, 0.750" dia; t150, 0.670" dia; amc t5, 0.590" dia.  i
believe there are jeep roller bearings for the early 4.0 in both
0.590" and 0.750" sizes that'll fit earlier i6 cranks too.

if the car was originally an auto, anything could've been done.  but
mopar and gm autos center their converters on the crank hole and i
thought bw autos did also...
