We did all the measurements and so far the only other thing we've had to change is the outer diameter of the front bearing retainer/release bearing shaft. Sorry, I don't have the exact measurements in front of me.
I guess you could enlarge the hole on the bell housing instead of trimming the bearing retainer, but it was easier to get a friend to chuck it up in a lathe and trim it. If my memory serves me I think we may have to drill one of the mounting holes into the bell housing as well.
If you need all the exact specs, I'm sure my friend could whip up a CAD drawing.
