So I found a potentially good deal on an adapter plate and flywheel for my Subaru conversion. The adapter plate and flywheel in question were bought for putting a 2.0 Subaru motor into a bus. It seems that the adapter plate should be fine for use with a 901 transmission and a 2.5L Subaru engine, but I haven't been able to figure out whether the flywheel will work for me.
I don't know if its a 228mm flywheel or not and I suppose thats something I should have the seller measure, but lets assume that it is. What sorts of problems might I encounter with this? Are the ring gears going to match up or is te starter going to require some shims, or movement, etc.? And about clutches. If I have a 228 mm flywheel I suppose I will be forced into using a bus clutch. Is this bad or good? -Tony |

you might be able to bribe Jon Watts or Fiid (if his is not bolted up) into measuring the parts they have, of course not sure if that'll help if the thier motors are too different from the 2.5 motor you have....
