Hello.
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.....

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.

I’d go remote, just for the worlds best engine steady.

I think JR had a 1128 sc box for sale..
I’ve just built a 333 with a magic wand style conversion.

If you're going so far from standard anyway I'd go rod change.

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