Quite right, Kelvin - pay attention to what I meant, not what I said (hard
to think with screaming clients and phones ringing off the hook)!
The other (easier) way to deal with sticking a later trans meant for a 5
main onto a 3 main engine is just to pop the input shaft out and get it turned
down. Done that a few times for the MGA race car when running the pushrod
motors.
As for tunnel interference, I was taking the word of the MGB guys who always
swear that the tunnel was modified on the late cars to clear that trans.
Apparently not! I guess any mods were done to standardise for the V8
installation and didn't involve the tunnel?

As Bill stated. You need the late flywheel, engine back plate and
starter. If you have a 3M it won't work unless you get the back of the
crank drilled out. I think Bill was thinking the other way around.
