John,

I dare say you can make anything fit, I think I would look at a 358 engine with about 500bhp, that way I can have a bit of grunt and a few revs as well!

I have never used a Tremec they come out in different Holdens/Falcons, what put me off them is the posts on guys having problems on the track with them. I remember Coyled saying the syncos are made of "pot material"

The Richmond road race five speed apparently is very strong and better ratios than the Tremec, but I have read where it isnt the slickest changing trans either - so I guess one can find fault with anything.

Regarding engine bays, I guess Richard with building single seaters etc, they are built around the engine for obvious reasons and the engine being a stressed member of a lot of rear engined cars, it appears some of this sort of technology went into the JBL.
