Does a new pilot bearing go in with the bearings toward the tranny or the block?

The F-body app smaller dia. bearings that interchange from LS back to Gen I SBC have a tapered side and the other end has a flat side.

It will work either way.
I prefer the flat side toward the engine so that a puller can more easily remove the bearing from the crank at a later time.
