As I said, check out the 930, IMHO it is the strongest and cheapest of the "mid range" (ie not T44 or Hewland LG600) trannies. Expect to pay $1500 to $4500 depending on condition and spec. About $3000 for a good one with LSD.

Most of the other high torque trans Mendeola, Fortin, and the new Ford GT etc are much too bulky to fit. If you're going to spend that sort of money then the T44 or Hewland is the better choice as they were original equipment.
