Proper Pilot Bearing for 2.3 T5 to 5.0 engine

I've done this before and IIRC I used a pilot bearing for a 83' Ranger 2wd with a 2.2L diesel engine. Well I ordered that pilot bearing, and took my 5.0 bearing out of the crank. Wouldn't you know, the swap bearing has the correct I.D. for the 2.3 t5, but the O.D. is to small for my crank (my 5.0 pilot bearings O.D. is a good bit larger).

Do the 94+ crankshafts have a larger opening for the pilot bearing or did I receive the correct box, with the wrong bearing in it?

(Yes, I have a fox bellhousing to go with the 2.3 T5)

Answered my own question. There are two different bearings listed for the Ranger at Autozone. One only replaces the bearing, and the other replaces the bushing/bearing combo with a sealed roller bearing. The sealed roller bearing is the part needed for the swap (at 2x the price).
