If you use the proper gearbox (MT75) then you have to make the gearbox
cross member.
If you're trying to use a type 9 2.8 box which is a bad idea, it should fit.
If not, I'm guessing you have a 4 speed shell. In which case - nothing fits.
You will need to make a cross member and fixings to the floor.

you need to do the modd on the tunnel to get the box up higher.

We've done at least 20 fully built cars and twice as many engine looms - what do you want to know?
