Default Input shaft diameter?

Anyone know the diameter of the input shaft? I'll be doing a rebuild soon and wanted to know what diameter hole I need to drill to make the work bench for the tranny to rest. I don't have the tranny yet, so I can't just measure it and go on my merry way, otherwise I would. If anyone has this info, it would be much appreciated.

The input shafts are right around 1". Grab a 2.5" hole saw and go to town.. Should also drill two small 3/8" holes for the alignment dowels too, so it will sit flat. (You'll need the second large hole for shimming the countershaft..)

It's 1 5/32", but usually it is called 1 1/8"
