Everything is normal, until it gets to the housing, which has a slightly smaller inside diameter. There's still the cutout that is the same size, just the other 3/4 or so of the circle. I wouldn't think it would be a problem, expecially living in Arizona and running synthetic. One test might be to see how the alignment tool fits. If it fits alright I'd give it a try. Or I guess I should ask first, is this for the spec car or one of the others?
Hmm I guess I probaby could attempt to machine out the housing a bit to ensure clearance.

I have a late housing off of a 87 S block. If intersted, drop me a line. I also have a early housing off of a 83 block.

Sam,
Thanks for the housing. When I got from you I knew what is was getting and would have worked just right. Now with the late block it is little more complicated.
I am thinking I will just use my dremel and grind a little more clearance just to make myself feel good.
