There have been a few issues swapping from the B20 to the B18 engine, but not too many.
The one I am currently facing is this:
The B20 has a cast aluminium bracket fitted around the bottom of the flywheel which mounts up to the gearbox bellhousing.
The B18 doesn't. I was planning on taking it off the B20 until I looked closer today and realised that there are none of the required bosses cast into the block.
It appears I need an Escustcheon plate for an early B18 motor.
Can someone shed some light on this? Ideally by having one, but alternatively have sharing a photo of what it is I need!
The engine is pretty much fully assembled, currently with the twin carb manifold from the B20, as I thought I should get the engine running before switching to the supercharger. Once I have a slightly reinforced alternator bracket I'll be ready to get it running.
Here it is at the moment:
