I’m halfway through the conversion myself ( the hard bit in cad is done)
A few things to consider
Shifter position- it depends on which car you have, my series 1 shifter hole is too far back but should be about right for a later car, I will be just shifting the engine back around 20mm or so
Input shaft- the Rx input shaft is not that long, about flush with the bell housing. My solution was to design a bespoke spigot bearing.
Clutch- Rx box uses a ford spline, a hybrid clutch will be needed.
Starter position- bell housing will need adjusting, the Rx box mounts the starter facing in opposite direction down near our exhaust manifold
On a positive note. The box fits, is light, has good ratios and excellent shift quality. The clutch slave is also in a great position
I’ll be doing a 3D scan of the box at some point which I’d be willing to share, my current cad is very basic
