Any try using a poly bellhousing w/ an early M37 trans?

I am trying to keep the original early M37 trans (1951) to keep the PTO/winch.

It appears the original trans input shaft will be ~ 1" too short due to the polysphere bellhousing depth being greater that the flathead bellhousing. I saw a post recently indicating Ray Suiter/Helitool sells an extended pilot bearing from his V8 swap kit for ~$50 - which gives the extra 1". I still may need to customize the clutch plate for more spline engagement.

Any experience going this route using the early M37 trans? Thanks.
