Yes, can confirm is OK, but you'd have to fit a different flywheel if using smaller clutch, but you could use the larger clutch on the standard car just need the matching bearing and cover: as Graham says plenty of room & they use same bell-housing anyway. Cheers. G.

just a thought as well, don,t know if your aware axle ratio on h120 was 3.89 not 4.22 as on standard car , i,d have to try it just to see !Pretty easy swap to do if you,ve got all the parts to hand i,d have thought , if you decide to and you need a hand let us know ,i,d be more than happy to help [dependant where you are!] i,m in west norfolk

Hi Andy ,i,m pretty sure there is no difference in engine block on H120 and standard.The only difference that might be a problem was the bigger clutch fitted to H120 but i,d be surprised ,as there is quite a bit of room in the bellhousing , best of luck Graham
