Not to my knowlege, but such a thing would be valuable assuming one knows 
how to read blueprints. For example, one of the troubles associated with 
trying to install a clutch stems from leaving out the rear block-protecting 
plate -the steel sheet between the rear of the block and the bellhousing. 
Another happens if trying to use a Long-style clutch cover with the usual 
centrifugal bob-weights that swing out when spun and which then tear off the 
internal struts cast into Pantera bellhousings for structural strength. There are 
several other 'gotchas' hiding in there.   FWIW- J Deryke
