Will start us off,

1, A 1.6 pinto gearbox will bolt straight onto the X-flow block.

2, You need the cover plate from your X-flow and 1.6 pinto friction plate, you also need to be careful which type of release bearing you have as it's matched to the cover plate, if you have a straight fingered cover plate you'll need a bowled realese bearing and a curly fingered diaphram needs a flat release bearing.

3, The spline size you need is 1" * 23 spline.

4, You shouldn't need to extend the gearlever, but some people have.

All the best Dan, now waiting tobe shot down

use the clutch for an early(smaller dia)seirra 1600,as for the prop,transit/sherpa/escort auto plus some others will fit

thanks for the info
