So I'd like to send a big shot out to Quicktime for providing incorrect specs on their bellhousing. As a result of this extra .445 inches of depth, the input shaft on mine only sticks out about 5/8" past the bellhousing, and it would only be about 1/4" when I add the engine plate. So that should be okay for me when I mate it to the engine and pilot bearing. If it's too long, I can file down the shaft slightly. However, for you, it seems like you'll need that spacer in between your transmission and bellhousing. Hope it's not too pricey and is readily available. If the shaft doesn't quite reach the pilot bearing, I believe there are 'extended' bearings.

I do have the Quicktime RM-8020 bellhousing and it measures 5.55”.
If I can get the 0.850” spacer from D&D Performance then everything will fit together. The input shaft on the T56 will slip into the pilot bearing about ¾”. Hopefully I can get one…. I’ll find out tomorrow. I think I'll have to shift my engine forward about 1" now. Hopefully your install goes smoother.
After that first drive with all the new stuff all the problems are forgotten... Good luck getting all your parts to fit together
