There's one bearing on that shaft inside. You will have to support the end.

One would imagine there was a bushing or something off the original engine that supported it?

Yes.
The input shaft on standard transmissions are supported by a bronze bushing in the center of the engine's crankshaft.

Worked on the trans mounts a bit more. Should work out rather well.

Got a couple hours today to play. Tacked the front and rear mount down. Tacked the motor plate down. Marked where I need to cut and also cut the start of my shim blocks for the front grill mounts.
Looks like minimal work this week but may have a whole Sunday next week to knock this out!

Holy crap milling takes forever. Lol. 45min for 2 3/4" deep 1-3/4" diameter relief cuts.

Finished machining out the nut reliefs on the bottom and cut the stud passthrough holes in the top. Will use acorn nuts to secure the blocks down, but first I need to install longer studs. The grill with then get mocked up and 1/2" studs installed into the blocks.

Split up my Sunday between car audio and tractor. Finished milling the spacer blocks and welded in some 1/2bolts as mounting studs. Grill mounting is almost complete just need to install longer front axle studs.

Getting close to firing the motor. I will be this week. I just got back to this project after finishing up my car audio nationals run.
Motor is bolted down. Changed oil, filter, plugs and have begun wiring.
I also redid the grill mounting. Didn't like the spacer look in the front. Really hope this motor runs.
