Build Day 28.....Removing Rover Gearbox

Just spent a couple of hours tonight in the garage. Removed the gearbox from the Rover engine and had a good look at the flywheel, clutch mechanism and bell housing to see if it's possible to mate up a ford gearbox. The two obvious hurdles are that firstly the centre of the clutch plate does not have the correct number of teeth as to fit on a ford gearbox input shaft (although the diameter is the same). Secondly, there is no spigot bearing in the crankshaft (although a hole exists where one could be fitted). I will have to do some research to see if I can source parts to fit.
