I guess as much. Have run into a little bit of an issue. It goes something like this.

Engine in my 64 is pretty stuffed, low compression, burning oil. Gearbox was stuffed too (pops out of 2nd)
decided to fit a 1600 tp and a 1500 swing axle box.
Got the box and got an engine to rebuild. The engine case is cracked and so I need a another one or $800 for a new one.
While I was rebuilding the engine I was told I could fit the 1500 box, and fit the old 1200 to it using the 12 volt flywheel and clutch. So I spent 10 hours last weekend and swopped the gearbox over and fitted the old 1200 as mentioned above.

Only problem is that you cant fit a 12 volt flywheel to a 6 volt crank, it does not locate properly and the result is about 5 -10mm of end float. So I now have to either swap the gearbox back over or find another engine in a hurry.
Manage to create quite a problem for myself
Any ideas??

Looks quite good. Transport to melburg might be pricy but I will check it out.

Cheers
