It is the 32/36. Although the bolt holes would fit with a bit of filing (although the wall will get a bit thin). What I'm more concerned about
is the hole into the manifold is much smaller on the manifold.
It half covers the primary inlet port. So I think it would need some major machining to bore it out. I have the kit at work to do this I guess but I
don't really want to! Neither do I have the time!
Cheers anyway!

Seems it was a slightly dodgey cut and shut bellhousing plate i made last year so one bolt hole didn't line up - which i didn't use cause
i was lazy..... but the main problem was the cut and shut wasn't quite totally flat. Remove a bit of steel via the dremil so the bold hole lined
up, and just tightened the starter till it squashed the plate flat!!!
15 minutes later trying to figure out the wiring and .......... it turns over.
now the bad news. I've got mayo in the bores  I've put loads of oil in over the last couple of years and a load of wd40 over the last
few days so..... i'm hoping the hose pipe to clear out the cooling hasn't blown the head gasket.
