So you didn't have to change anything to go from a dual mass to single? From what it looked like, the "conversion kit" is just the flywheel and clutch to match

I think that's all, I personally didn't do the swap, that's how I bought it.

how did it look as far as metal shavings if you were to pour the oil/coolant mix through a couple papertowels or drop a magnet in there

Well .. its official ... this build is going in a different direction ....

I will be pulling the engine and transmission , and installing mt 12V from my 95 auto truck ... a 215 w 887 pump and working twards a trubo that can make it all a happy set up ...

anyone have a need for a fairly frest 7.3 IDI ... 50K on engine and 20K on new injectors and pump ... i will take viedo of it running and such to show its all good ...
