Does anyone happen to know the inner diameter (past the chamfer) of the torque tube at the engine end? I have the engine out, however the drive shaft itself makes it virtually impossible to measure with the calipers I have. I'm wondering if anyone happens to know the measurement, or has the ability to measure a tube without the drive shaft in it.
Basically I need a very accurate measurement to make an adapter plate for an engine swap. I would like to use the inner surface of the tube to center the adapter plate, it appears the 3 dowels on the back of bellhousing were used to center the stock engine. (it's hard to get much from the 3 dowels since you can't directly measure diameter from 3 points of a circle)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

3.05" (77.47mm) sounds about right, I was getting around 77mm with my crude measurements.
If you could easily confirm I would be very grateful.

Instead of dicking around with the dowels, measure the bellhousing circle it fits into...
I hope you're going to have some controller that limits torque output at low RPM!
