G50 my arse

So they essentially fitted a whole new rear torsion bar area to put the later bigger gearbox in. A lot of work to not mention.

Which Dusty? jon Miller? If so which car?

I'm not saying it can't happen (and I know it's happened - there's one on impact bumpers with a 6 speed G50 into an SC) but if you did it then it would be a lot of work and need to be done right. - the sort of thing you would mention in the advert

Yes, Jon's green machine he completed this year. I'll save you the effort, he shortened the 'box, and yes it would be a notable mod, but thought I'd broaden your horizons ;)

Yes, I think so. A year ago it was working IIRC so should be available. Give him a call and see.
