The belhousing from The Castlemain Rodshop looks good and the price sounds nice too. But what about the clutch? I can buy a Chevy V8 (300ci) and I has no flywheel. Do I need a flywheel and clutch from a Chevy 300?

Marks Adaptors dont have any V8 Kit avaliable for for Nissan PRE 89!
Nothing available for MQ Patrol as they are to old and no one seems to want to spend the money to do conversions on them anymore.

Odd .......
I used one of their kits around 16months ago although they did mention I was lucky to get it ( last one maybe ??? ).
I've also received a "spare part" for a very early conversion kit recently, even afer I was told it was no-longer available. I belive they did it as a "one off "..... perhaps a tad quiet at the factory ????
Also a few members are now running the GQ gearbox so the link is somewhat valid for MQ conversions..... I'll edit the link to suit later.

Does eneyone what kind of flywheel I need? And which clutch? I read about it in the MQ bible but don't understand what kind of flywheel/clutch they use.
