I'm sure I read somewhere about a sharan clutch from vw fits the ldv flywheel and has correct splines etc but don't quote me on that. I'm sorry I cant be of more help to you. There are many crazy projects going on here so someone is bound to know something else to help you.
Yeah; I'm now putting cash aside to start amassing the bits as and when they come up - some prices are a bit off the wall, but there are bargains around if I'm not in a hurry. Of course, it would be perfect if I could use the old Scim box - might be a heavy old lump, but it's strong and reliable enough. A custom bellhousing would cost much more than simply using the LDV Pilot box though and afaik, there were no Ford applications / crossovers of the Pug pattern.
Looks like LDV engine mounts and gearbox are in my future
