A manual gearbox is the best part of a grand on its own. IF you can find one!

If you have a search alot of kitcars have used the bmw V12, and people do make conversion plates for boxes.
M60 is a great conversion, if you can find a manual car to start with your laughing.

A friend of mine used a m20 manual box with an adapter plate. Worked well.
But that was the easy bit...
