I hate to suggest something without backing it up with some info.
today I measured the bellhousing. The offset to the starter boss is about 3 1/2 inches. The offset to the transmission case is about
5.6 inches. I hope this will be helpfull in deciding if the bellhousing can be used.

My name is Chris Smale. I live in Bakersfield California. The plane is based at BFL hanger 7 on the south east cornerof the airport.The defiant is not flying yet. I still have to do some work on the engine monitoring system. The airframe and powerplants are done. The plane could  fly if I had engine monitoring. If anybody should want to look at it, let me know by email. I check it every few days.

Great Chris. I won't have to refer to you as CJ anymore:-) I am in Santa Paula so I might pop up
there to see your plane. I will let you know ahead of time by email.
I will measure Tracy's system and see if we can adapt the bell housing.
