Thanks for pointing that out Andy. I will add that to the rapidly growing list of issues that must be addressed. I think that your flexplate idea has some legs, thanks!

Overall though, this is great news. The complexity of spacing the flywheel off the crank is peanuts compared to designing an adapter that can accept the H55F input shaft and then mate to the crank in such limited space. The part would probably have to be machined out of unobtanium to be strong enough. Seriously though, splines are very costly to machine. If I can keep them out of the design it will help keep the cost down.
