i thought of that too. the old motor and new motor both have the dust cover, and as long as i get those lined up over each other i can make sure i have all of the bolt holes that I would need. I dont have the starter for the "new" motor, and it came with a flywheel, so I would have to replace correct outboard position that with the flywheel I have. I would need a spacer for the flywheel that is as thick as the adapter plate. which should re-align the flywheel the right place in reference to the input shaft and clutch assembly.
