Your build sounds interesting....
How about a 22G1128 full straight cut with a pudding stirrer attached!!!!
Would look very stock but add a little interest on track days.....

Re: Gearbox decision
Have you tried contacting this guy: http://www.guess-works.com/
He built a gearbox for such a conversion that a guy 'the mad scotsman' round here has in his previously Spi'd mini, and it has worked fine, and thats a rodchange.
What doesn't work so good is getting that engine in under a standard bonnet,
must be even worse in a chopped down sprinted shell.
Maybe a auto subframe can help in lowering the engine.

Re: Gearbox decision
I’d go remote, just for the worlds best engine steady.
I've got a 69 Mini with a 1046, Cooper Head and a four on the floor.

Re: Gearbox decision
The Strongest Cases they did were the DAM5262.
Stay away from any other DAM series case, as they were the weakest.
