Zag,

Does the 2.0l have a removable bellhousing like the 1.6l? I am thinking that if it does it may bolt to the 1.6l gearbox and that way you can retain the 2.0l flywheel and gain more torque from the extra weight and not have to spend lots of money on custom flywheels.

I think the problem is that the 2ltr is a hydraulic clutch and the 1.6 cable operated.

That's right they are hydraulic, but that would mean mounting the 2.0l clutch master cylinder on the fire wall, or adapting the cable to where the slave cylinder mounts.  Both of these sound cheaper then a custom flywheel.  My 2 cents  

     The nice part is that I don't think there is any great advantage to the additional weight of the 2.0L flywheel.
    It gives you a little more momentum but no additional torque.
    Using the modified 1.6 flywheel with the heavy clutches available for the 1.6 there should be no problem  with a reliatively stock engine.  Using the 1.6 flywheel modified is alot easier than going through all the other mods to install the 2.0l trans. with it's hydralic clutch system.
    Remember my goal is to make this as easy as possible.

The 2 bellhousings have different patterns at the gear box. We are looking into an adapter.

the hard parts needed are  the 1.6 Bell, and complete clutch kit anong with the machined Flywheel. For the 1.6 trans we machined a pilot bushing for the Toy trans we purchaced a bearing from a  bearing supply house $54. OUCH. We may machine a bushing for that one also.

Sorry
    No updates yet I'm really buried at work. Hope to get some stuff done over the weekend.

Finally getting projects caught up.....

The 1.6/8v is finished and installed on to my airplane
(see pics of zaggy's engine for the airboat tests) and we will start flight testss right away.

I finished a major volunteer project at the Alberta Aviation Museum

And will be restarting this swap on the weekend, sorry for the delays guys

I reject your apology ... work harder!
(maybe this post will inject 11 pages of "drama")
