Here are a few measurements on the V6 Cologne engine; Mustang II Bell Housing: Mustang II Fly Wheel and the Late Model Mustang T5 transmission 1352-238
Here is a picture of the measurement (s):
V6 1st PIC Using a straight edge from the Mutt II bell housing to Late Mustang T5 1352-238 you can see the end of pilot shaft spud extends beyond the bell housing toward the fly wheel by 1/2 inch.
V6 2nd PIC Again using a straight edge on the Mutt II flywheel face I measured to face of the crank hub where the six bolts retain the fly wheel to the crank shaft hub = 1 3/8 inch.
V6 3rd PIC Deleted
V6 4th PIC is a better view of what is described in the 2ndPICflywheel face to crank hub face 1 and 3 eight inch
V6 5th PIC Measuring from the flywheel face into crank hub recessed hole = 3 inch deep
V6 PIC Rear engine block edge where the bell housing mates to the Flywheel face = 1 9/16"
As I figure the measurements, if correct, using the T5 1352-238 with the input shaft unmodified in length approximately 1/8 of an inch is all a stock pilot bearing will provide support.
The reason for the "adapter" is to give additional support ensuring a long life to your T5 and eliminating any undue mechanical problems with the clutch disc, release bearing, flywheel, etc.
I will add more comments shortly,
