Clutch conversion question, Pull clutch conversion Options

[DeeEmm]

Hi all.

I have a clutch compatibility question.

First here's the parts I have

I have a 914-4 that I purchased without engine and Box. Because...
I already had a 915 box from a 911 SC and a 2.7 Type 4 that has a KEP flywheel with a 911 pull style clutch and ring gear from another project.

My idea was to convert the 915 to work in the 914. But after owning the car for a few years and making no progress, I've changed tact and decided to buy a stock 914 box as one has come up for sale locally. (a rare occurrence here in Australia) Fitting the engine and a stock 914 box is definitely a shorter pathway to getting it back on the road.

So my question is this...

Can I convert the 914 box to work with the pull clutch?

I know that I can change the flywheel to a regular flywheel, but the engine was built and balanced with the KEP clutch and plate, so I would really like to avoid having to tear it down again to get it rebalanced.

I've seen several references implying the box can be converted to a pull style, but I cannot find any hard info on it or anyone who's done it.

The other thought that I had was using a push style pressure plate but still retaining the KEP flywheel and ring gear. But, I'm not even sure if that is possible. Does such a configuration even exist? It would be super convenient if it's just a case of mixing and matching components, but I'm rarely that fortunate.

I do have machining capability as in the sparse info I could find on converting the 914 box to a pull clutch it mentioned machining the release arm pivot? But in the absence of any additional info, I have no idea what that actually entails.

So thought I'd reach out to the brains trust and see if anyone has any ideas / experience on this.

Other can chime in with more details.
Basics I know. The pivot ball is in a different location. Generally recommended to use a insert into the transmission housing and then thread into insert as the Pivot ball can pull out. You need the clutch pressure plate, Clutch fork and throw out bearing from a 2.2 911, all are expensive. Not sure what you use for a clutch cable, might be custom.
