I have a question about making an bellhousing adapter plate. I want to put a chevy 6.2L diesel into an FJ60, I have access to a machine shop but don't want to spend money on a Mark's Adapter kit ($1200+). I am not asking for engine placement comments, just need to confirm that the below will work.
Here is the PDF for the Mark's Kit on the AA Site (page 2 shows cross section):

My thoughts are as follows:
- Make 1" adapter plate that bolts to back of Chevy block with countersunk bolts and has dowelled and threaded holes to accept Toyota H42 bellhousing.
- Make 1" crank spacer that moves flywheel away from engine by 1".
- Mount externally balanced flywheel to crank spacer.
- Mount stock toyota clutch and pressure plate to flywheel. Requires drilling/tapping of new bolt pattern?
- Make pilot bushing adapter that moves toyota pilot bushing away from crank by 1".
QUESTION(s):
- Will it work?
- Do I need to drill and tap Chevy Flywheel for Toyota clutch?
- How thick can I make the spacers? The problem I see is that the flywheel gets pretty far from the block.
- What to do with the starter? Modify the toyota bellhousing with a bracket?
