Turns out the pilot hole on the later engine isn't quite as deep as the one on the 63 196 the trans came from. I trimmed about 1/8" off the end of the input shaft with a cut-off wheel, tapered it with a grinder, and it worked great.

But this is the trans that came out of the car in the first place. All 
hard parts exactly the same and exactly what came our of the car except 
clutch. Same bell, etc.

I'm gonna check depth, because it's easy. But I can see the crank 
through all the clutch and bell junk, there's no nut or whatever in the 
hole blocking it out...
