<< Some help please. Customer with an early TR3 wants to install a TR4
engine. Wants to keep TR3 trans and hence bullet nose starter. Therefore
does he use the 3 flywheel (for the starter) and clutch? (needs to replace
bad ring gear) Or the 4 flywheel and clutch and can you unbolt and flip
the ring gear? What are his options? Where can I point him? Thanks very
much. Please reply directly as I'm on the digest list.

The early starter and flywheel go together. Nothing at all to do with the
gearbox. As the early starters are getting harder to find - and more $ - you
may wish to point him towards the TR4 flywheel and starter. Moss lists the
later starter at over $300 and the early one isn't listed at all.
