hi Baz,
yes there is a conversion plate needed and well worth the trouble doing it. concider puttig a paddle clutch in whilst the engine is out. well worth the investment.

you dont need a conversion plate to fit a vit engine to a 413 gearbox
the top 2 bolts are a straight fit you just have to drill new holes for the bottom 2 plus with a conversion plate your starters gear will not engage the fly wheel 100% and will give un even ware on it

just my 10p worth
