what material are you making the adapter out of? 1/4" or 3/8" steel plate or something? My biggest worry in making an adapter would be that some bolts would not be usable due to interference from either the bell housing or the engine. Is this a potential problem? Also, how do you go about making sure everything lines up correctly? What do you use for reference? How will you deal with the clutch/flywheel/tranny interface? Please forgive my ignorance on the matter as I have never made an adapter or done an engine swap before...
