Daily Update- Rubbin's Racing

Went down to the shop and brought up to speed. They had both clutch kits, and the Turbo housing matched the installed housing instead of the non-turbo.

From what I came to understand, the pressure plate has rubbed against the bell housing. We know the bell housing is correct, as it has the 4wd parts integral to the casting. We know the clutch kit/ pressure plate is correct, and that the clutch plates are not in need of replacement. We have no idea when the rubbing happened, but since the clutch kit looks new, it has to have been receintly.

So, the questions we currrently have are thus:
At what point does the Capri (engine) end and the GTX start?
There doesn't seem to be a spacer we can remove.
Is the flywheel housing correct for the Capri or GTX? Is it different?
I've checked the GTX vin# to confirm it's a GTX. Is there a way to check the Vin# of the Capri engine to tell if the engine is a turbo?
