Ah, thanks... And now for the technical.... Upon looking at new parts for the conversion, I'm finding some things.... flywheel? 8 dowel pins ok? 200mm? And what is a "full flow" oil pump? I want to put on a remote filter, so I need a special pump for that right? Is that one with the two nipples on it? Have to change oil cooler too? Sorry for all the questions, but I have found that it's so much easier to ask people that know as opposed to searching for hours.

B-Dubya,
          "12 Volt" flywheel, 200mm clutch/pressure plate/TO bearing all matching. 8 dowel crank is not really necessary for a stockish donk (and the flywheel then has to be 8 dowel).  The manual parts should just drop onto your engine's crank no problems. No differences in the A-S vs Manual cranks. If you want to pull big revs....then 8 dowel it/full counterweight. Bigger sustained rev's...look at a "wedgemate" counterweighted crank....$$$$$$$'s

Don't know what a full flow pump is. If you go external filter, you must get a decent brand of filter otherwise they have a tendency to burst. I assume you are talking about filtering off the oil pump.....

Oil cooler - No change as far as I'm aware unless you want to ditch it and replace it with a seperate cooler. Too much like hard work for a simple engine swap....
