Thanks Frank, that's bloody useful info.

The transmission we're looking at using has it's own starter setup so hopefully that will take that headache away and offer us some more options on that front.

Clutch wise, I think we can only fit up to about 9 inch inside the bell housing....... Mendeola make the transaxle we're looking at called the S5.... sequential paddleshift gearbox.

Were the modifications to the Ford flywheel you made difficult ? Could make choosing a flywheel and clutch combo a lot easier if I can go down that route.
