V8 /V6 lower engine

[robo]

I am looking at engine options and installation, the lower the better seems to be the order of the day. Stumbling block seems to be flywheel/bellhousing diameters, even with a dry sump they are the problem. Have a look on quartermaster.coms website. For anyone with a v engined configuration they have a 71/2" flywheel that can take a mutiplate clutch and offer a bellhousing that takes a rear mounted reverse rotation starter, looks like the dobermans danglers. Must be worth a drop of at least 3". Ideas along these lines could be achieved for the taller four pots. And how the hell do you drop a link onto these pages.

What gearbox are you looking at? I don't think I'd want to drop my gearbox 3 inches down. Also £400 for a flywheel seems a bit steep.

From what i have seen on these pages there are quite a few decent engineers.Its not impossible to make a home grown version of this it would be possible to take a front wheel drive type flywheel that uses the reverse entry starter and modify it to fit, then tig a pocket into your own bellhousing. Machine the starter mating surface then cut the bottom off you bellhousing to suit, that must be worth a couple of inches at least.
