I have liaised closely with the firm in the US mentioned in the article link, and ordered a complete conversion package from them. New A518, lock up converter, conversion kit with vacuum switches for kick down and overdrive, and adaptor plates for mounting to the RB/BB engine block.
As with my suspension refurbishment, I will keep a good photographic record and post the experience on this forum. Good, bad or otherwise I will be as objective as I can. Just give me a few months, as the nights are cold at the moment.
Having spent may hours under my car I have thoroughly measured the areas around the tunnel and crossmember. Whilst I expect to make changes to the transmission mounting and some relief of the tunnel cover, I do no think changes will be too extreme. keep you posted....
