Not going to be able to reuse the 4 speed flywheel due to different depth and position. If you want to stay single mass you have to get the conversion flywheel, and at that rate, might as well get the whole set. Be forewarned, you get a rattle at idle that bothers some due to the lack of vibration dampening, and the noise comes through the transmission, making it seem that it is failing or such.
