MG MGA - 4 synchro box found behind 3 main eng

Hello,
I recently purchased what I thought was a 3 syncro gearbox mated to a 3 main engine. It turns out the gearbox is a 4 synchro but the accompanying bits are puzzling:
Early flywheel (10.75" inside dia on the ring gear).
Early starter (with bellhousing modified to accept it.

I'm assuming what was also needed to make this work was a resized tranny input shaft or a different crank bushing (was crank modified?). Anyone have those dimensions? And does anyone want to buy this transmission? This drivetrain was to eventually go in my MGA project but I want to stay with a 3 synchro box.
Regards,
Joe M
