Hi there . Does anyone here know where i can purchase an adapter plate to fit a fwd vvl engine to my ca18 rwd gearbox? I am looking to build something with a smooth idle as i enjoy knocking about with the sx daily. Any info appreciated.

The sr bellhousing from the rwd box bolted to the ca box will allow you to bolt the ca box to any sr engine

I wanted to use a adapter plate as i want to use cas to run the abs and dash. I am also using std preasure plate but making it twin clutch plate so i need extra depth inside bellhousing. The sr bellhousing does not lign up perfectly causing clutch plate boss to fail. I would like to do something that looks neat as well. I saw a guy hack the bellhousing and it worked for him but i am not that type of enthusiast.
