Can I bolt up a motor from a tip to a manual or are the cranks different?

The pilot bearing is in the flywheel. You will have to swap out the automatic crank ring for a
stock (or LW) flywheel.
Same should be true for a 3L crank (but you need more than just the crank to make a 3L setup work in a 2.7 block).

The crank ring is the automatic equivalent of a flywheel (sort-of).
Its a big disc attached to the crank with teeth on the outer edge that engage the starter motor.
If you just have a 3.0 crankshaft with no other parts, then you don't have to worry about that. From your initial post, I was under the impression that you had a full tiptronic 2.7 motor that you were trying to mate up to a manual transmission.

I just have the crank so i'm good to go. Do you know any machine shops in CT that
can fix up my block and clearance it for this crank??? Does EPL have any special deals on rods and pistons for 3.0L conversion? thanks again...
