I'm using the stock flex plate for the starter. Then I have an adapter to a redrilled Skyline R32 flywheel with a 350z clutch. Later on I will have a custom flywheel made to reduce the number of parts and to make it lighter. I designed the adapter plate and the flywheel adapter and then had them machined at a local shop. If this combo works out I want to put it in one of my W111/W112 or my W108 cars.
I know of a guy that put one in a 240Z. He used a Tremec Transmission and fitted the engine with throttle bodies from a Hyabusa.
