 You probably haven't damaged anything, but you will need to pull the engine 
and 
 clearance the bell housing for the larger 12V ring gear. The ring gear will 
 have cut into the case, making it obvious where you need to remove metal. >>

Yes, we did that to my son's car when he converted it to 12 volt. I think it 
took him about 2 hours to get the bellhousing clearanced, but then he trial 
fitted it several times just to make sure everything was good to go. The only 
real drawback was the grinding dust that was created, in that it tried to go 
everywhere. That took some time to clean up. :D
