have a read of guy88 and oxtonyxo's progress reports they did it that way - i thought they used the pinto flywheel redrilled - and i think the xr4i flywheel is used if you use the car mt75

[rob hall]

Oh sh*t , so the xr4x4i flywheel wont do with mt75 van box then,??

pritty sure its thicker than that sounds like you might have the plate that goes between engine and box that keeps the crap out of the bellhousing

do you need 3 seats up front

[rob hall]

Yep deffo need 3 seats,i bought the bellhousing adaptor from burton power. what thickness should it be?

same thing, sandwich plate. its not what you need, get your money back. the correct definition of an adapter plate is a plate that allows an engine of one bolt pattern to be mounted to a box with a different pattern.

sandwich plates often get called adapter plates for some reason
