Chris, Congrats on the urq, its great to see another one surface after having a rest.

Just yesterday, there was some info posted about the 20vt clutch on a project thread on motorgeek. 
>From that post and my recent experience of putting an RR 20vt into my urq, I can state I used the following: 

RR(basically 3B) engine 
RR flat flywheel 
Southbend clutch for the flat flywheel 
016 urq locker transmission 
016 locker throwout bearing and fork 
016 pilot bearing (20VT pilot bearing doesn't fit the 016 transmission main shaft) 

Martin has listed a different set of parts that has worked for the northern neighbors, they used an 016 torsen throwout bearing and fork with a 016 locker transmission. When I was polling the CO urq guys, they all said to use the throwout bearing and fork that belongs with the transmission being used. I followed that logic and it seems to be working on my car. 

I was also warned that I would need to so some drilling/grinding to get the 20VT engine speed/TDC sensor block to fit. But when I put it together, everything fit fine. BTW, this was with an RR set of sensors which might be different than the 3B mounting block. I haven't checked ETKA to verify.
