I had a turbo trans/NA diff for a while and I just used the turbo driveline and drilled new holes for it. There is plenty of room on the flange and you just need a powerful drill and a couple of small clamps.

Was thinking about drilling holes in the old flange but all that stuff about balancing and a fast spinning object out of balance could vibrate into oblivion, ordered part from mazda trix waiting for it to come in....lets hope all is good, spoke with Dave, I think thats his name,.. the owner spent more time BSing than it took to order part good, guy there.

You cant use a na clutch on a t2 flywheel. They differ in diameter.

I do believe if you put your na flywheel on the t2 motor you can run a na trans on a t2 motor and vise versa.

Yes mazda trix has the drive shaft you need. They offer 2 different ones. aluminum and steel.
I also am in the same situation. ..fully built 2 motor and trans and a na diff....
I can not find a t2 diff in phx az for the life of me.....endangered species!
Guys id like to hear more about how much power your pushing with a t2 motor and a na diff.
I know they will hold as long as you arnt running slicks to hook and break.
