Changing from a 3 to a 5 bearing main 2.25

First Gear
Hey everyone.. changing the engine in my S2a .. my 3 bearing main needs more work than u have time or money to deal with at the moment .. got a running 5 bearing and I’m looking to put it in .. What is different when it comes to mounting it up and refitting everything?
 
His old manifold should fit the new engine diesel has two different manifolds but just the outlet changed from 4 bolt to 3 bolt.
No mention in parts book of 5 main bearing being different.
Some slight differences in clutch area see parts snip attached

to the 5brg block..?

I believe not, the crankshaft rear oil seal is totally different and I think that change involved changes to the flywheel housing. It shouldn't be a major problem to reclaim the threads in your housing and to replace the studs. David

How would you go about refitting the studs in the stripped housing??
