Not sure if that's true or not!
Yes they can be Phil (PM Motorsports) again was one of the first to succesfully make the conversion. Here's some pictures of 2 cars he's done.

Don't know Rene, Phil is running 11.00 with a standard US T5 and race clutch, although I do know he's going to start using a tremec soon.
