Default gearbox problem... doh!

As i knew it would be a massive bellhousing. I cant cut the rails as the chassis as is not fully welded yet. and i cant do any tunnel work or U3 or U4 till i know how far back i can get it.
Also its looking real high at the moment any ideas?

the bottom of the gear stick( black rubber thing) is 330mm from the table. center of the prop shaft is 185mm from table top. top of the gear stick is 525mm. gearbox is 840mm long. and gearstick center(at base) is 100mm from rear.

would love to know some of your measurements from type 9 and mt75 would give me a good idea on where to put it. I have given myself self 60mm from the back of the gearbox to the firewall.... this will allow the pully to clear the BR7 but it might sit above it im unsure yet lol

I might have to cut the top bit of TR8 out as well and add another bit above it. Anyone done this before?
