My 66 chop top build

Definitely. It's really neat the way all of the internals attach to the single metal plate, and can be installed/removed as a unit.

I still need to test fit the bell housing to the engine, and will get the KEP 930 Flywheel/pressure plate weight for you.

I'm going to try to get the parts machined locally, using your method of grinding the shaft, assembled in the case, on a lathe. The pics that you posted should help me get the parts back into the case for machining.
