If I recall correctly, one of the main differences between the kits is the 
clutch.  MorrisService uses a standard Datsun clutch, and the Rivergate uses 
a modified/custom clutch.  So, with the Morrisservice you will need to have 
your flywheel modified, but with Rivergate you don't need to modify your 
flywheel yet you will need to buy clutch replacements from them or have your 
local performance shop make up one for you.  I'm sure there are other 
differences as well, but this was the largest that I noticed.

Ok, Cap'n.  Where are you located?  I thought you were in California for some 
reason.
