Wow, they have a lot of stuff.

I wondered what is done about the input shaft/pilot bearing interface, since the idea of "adapter plates" makes me think that the motor will be further away from the tranny when installed.

But it looks like they provide a different flywheel, which must be extra thick (by the thickness of the adapter plate) with a piece that holds the pilot bearing.  Is that how it's done, or is that even a problem?

I think a 1.8t20v would be nice in a 4kq.

Later,
