Excellent work and write up. I for one would like to know how the car runs and reacts to the new flywheel/clutch setup.
I don't know if this is a help or not but in the past on other 4 speed cars I got longer tranny bolts and cut the heads off. Then I threaded them into the bell housing to use as a guide rail for the tranny to slide on into the clutch. I also used a centering tool for the clutch disc. Usually the tranny seated all the way with just a twist of the output shaft while in gear. If the tranny didn't seat all the way then I had someone else release the clutch and all was good. I don't know if there is enough room in the tunnel of the Z to do this.
