Iain,
thanks.
I have been dealing with Mick Strong in the UK Ricardo motorsports group.
They are prepared to cast me a case with a removable bellhousing using all Ford GT internals...
I have to commit to 40 units per year to offset the tooling cost for the case.
The price is still being discussed but for cars of the Superlite Genre...this kind of box would be a great unit and would solve alot of issues as it would be new and available....and very fairly priced...what do you think???
The nice thing is that the whole internal package has been tried and tested in at least 3500 Ford Gt's and has stood the test of 1000hp Ford Gt's with no adverse effect....
I have been in discussion about having a paddle shifter system to complete the package and its very feasible for well under 3k usd......from a US manufacturer

Too bad its too large for the GT40's though....
Unfortunately Ricardo cannot sell Ford boxes directly hence my asking for info on a deal on them......
