what I have done is use a exstention nut that holds the flywheel down, but also has the shaft on it for your clutch bell, you might have to shorten the crankshaft alittle bit to get the exstention nut to tighten the clutchbell down good, Ive used them on several diffenert bigblocks that had shoet crankshafts and its work great! hope this helps!

The Picco .26 "Max" engine is intended for use on T-"Max" trucks which is a different engine mounting dimension altogether. The standard Picco .26 is probably what you've been seeing on the 1/8 scale buggies. You're in for some aggravation if it is the actual "Max" engine.
