I wander if your friend would share the drawings for the peripheral porting?

 Also took a look at options for mounting Mantyla's redrive to a 13B.  Have

to get in front of that ring gear for the starter somehow.  A casting is out
of the question though we did look at what it would take to cut off a tranny
housing (say enough to leave about 4" or so) and weld a plate on the end and
attach the redrive to that.  Would just mount the starter in the stock
location.  What do you all think, can the housing (and welded plate) take
the loads?

I know on Crook's prototype he used sections of flat plate but that looks a
little funny.  Suppose it works though.

I should be picking up my '92 13B REW Sequential Turbo engine by the end of the
week. It comes with everything including the auto transmission. The bell housing
is very strong (i think). My plan is to use the housing and attach Tracy's gear
box on it? Another benefit is that the starter is tucked very close to the
engine. BTW someone already had done it. Look at the photo below.
