Not sure as it will mate up to any off the top of my head, what with it being FWD. Maybe a job for getting a custom bell housing plate or similar made to mate to a cossie T5 box?

what about using the running gear from one of the old 340s? might fit the straight upto the engine, and the gearbox is mounted at the back so you'll have awesome weight distribution, and loads of weight on the rear to aid grip!

otherwise, what about a 240 box? assuming they fit the engine and are conventional arrangements...
