Will have to look into "Faceplating" more reserch needed, thanks for your help.

When I say Liberty etc, I dont mean one of their custom race transmissions, they will uprate many boxes, so there will be plenty of options
The actual process of faceplating an existing box, where they have parts for it of course is not that expensive. Obviously there is little point doing it to a box if you're breaking shafts or gears though
Not mine, but you see what goes on.

One of the local drift guys recently bought one of the G Force 4 speed dog/crash boxes for his car a while back. I think he managed to get one second hand.
Seems a simple straightforward bang gears and it just goes.

A fully built T5 should be very strong though and up to the task in hand, which may be a more cost effective option ?

No idea what a toploader is or what its from, but it gets mentioned a lot and there are picturs of faceplated versions on YB too

For race only, I would definitely look into a non synchro box. If it can be a very old, modified box from the US, that should mean parts will be plentiful and cheap.
