Glad to read an update.

The adapter plate is really easy to do - esp. if you make it from aluminum (soft, like buttah). Some people don't even bother to trim them - just slap a rectangle of material on the bell housing & mark the holes to drill out.

The fact the guy knows an Exide dealer could come in really handy. The ForkenSwift's running on Exides now.
