   Here
 is the problem. My son and I decided to take out his oil burning 232 
out of his 69 Gladiator. While the engine was out, we replaced the t14 
with a one with a lot less wear and tear. The transmission had 232 
written right on the bell housing. One we bolted up everything, the 
engine was bound up. We backed off the bell housing bolts and the engine
 would turn easier. We are at loss here. Can the input shaft be slightly
 longer on the new transmission.? Did the machine shop install the wrong
 diameter pilot bushing? Spent a lot on this project and we are very 
concerned.
