I fold.
Denmah's car used a complete LOJ swap and the car came with a transmission.
On a technical point, a 240mm (9.5") diameter clutch will not handle as much torque under load compared to a larger diameter. LS engines come with 11" clutch disc as an OEM sports car application. I ran into an issue with this mostly at high speeds (110-165). I ended up having to get a custom flywheel made for $850+ so I could use universal 7.25" twin disc clutches. Clutch Masters was the only company that was willing to make me a flywheel and I didn't need to give them a 3D drawing. My cheap transmission swap adapter was $1250 and the flywheel that came with it is meant to use stock flywheel single disc clutches. The G-Force swap forces you to use a 240mm clutch disc.
