TKO 600 / QuickTime / LS/ pilot bearing?

Not a TKO, but I'm running a T10 and Richmond on LS motors. As long as the bell is the same depth as a standard old school bell (ie. 621) and it's a GM input shaft on the TKO, the LS7 pilot bearing will work.

From what I gather with my measurements. This is what it looks like installed and you can see the input shaft. The shaft clearly shows where the roller bearings ride and the where the seal is. Does that look like enough? Keep in mind I have the pilot bearing slightly extending (I didn't make it flush with the crank).

First off, the bearing in the left photo looks like the smaller 98-02 f body that rides in the inner flange.
When I set mine up, the LS7 bearing was flush with the end of the crank. The input flange extended about flush with the inside of the bearing. The splines did not reach the rear of the bearing.
There was an aftermarket bearing with an extension closer to the splines, but I don't know that there's any advantage to that.

I did when I had my engine on a stand earlier this year, the difference with my setup is that I have the RM-6037 for a ford to LS bell, so the input shaft on mine is a ford length shaft. I just had the shaft machined down 2mm to fit the pilot bearing to gm size, if my memory doesn't fail me I remember it seating fine with a slight gap between bearing and splines. I just put white grease on it when I did my test fitments to see how far in it went.

I got a hold of quick-time and they have no clue. They claim an OEM bearing should work, but it doesnt. If I had the bearing flush in the engine, it would be way off.
I needed an extended bearing to get more surface coverage on the input shaft, but does anyone feel the above pictures indicate a risky situation?

I think ideal is .300" out of the hole. I think I'm just going to leave it as it is, unless someone else has something interesting to say about my pictures.
I do have a block plate.
