YepCaM is right. Water lines go backwards to what you think but you can still use all the blue top bits - just have to rearrange them. You'll need to lengthen the silvertop extractors by about 40mm to clear the starter motor and use the thin plate that goes behind the flywheel, from the blue top. Silvertop flywheel and clutch fit the std gbox and as far as I remember the std mounts work as does the throttle cable if you rearrange the where it comes out to above the crossmember behind the fuel tank rather than underneath it. Wiring is a bit of a nuisance but not too hard if you have wiring diagrams.

Have fun!! Its great fun when you're finished!!
See ya

you will have issues with the starter, if its on the exhaust side. need to mod no 1 runner to clear.

sometimes, seems to be luck if you need to modify it or not, mine fit without modification so check it first

grinding the flange works well
as thats the part that wont clear the starter
or.... use a ae-92 starter....
or use the 20v gearbox front housing and put the starter on the back....
