I was able to find a solid mass flywheel from a 3L engine, so I was able to ditch my dual mass unit. The only difference is that it's just a solid chunk of metal instead of an assembly. It uses the same clutch. It did use different bolts, which is a saga in and of itself--I even expressed the wrong bolts to myself from Australia at one point. But eventually obviously I got it.
With the engine and transmission assembled to one another, we decided to try installing the whole thing in the truck as an assembly. We jacked the back up as high as humanly possible and tilted it all back in. Turns out it doesn't fit, no matter what you do. The t-case is just too big to fit around the IFS stuff. One more reason to eventually get rid of that junk.
Pics are the new flywheel, the new clutch, and the failed install attempt.
