what gearbox?
how did they get the radiator to fit without cutting the front of the car? measured mine up and will be a real tight squeeze even if i do cut it!
did they have to modify the cross member and engine mounts?

Or am i just not thinking about it hard enough?

The obvious choice for gearbox is the automatic that comes with the 3800. Just cut out the tunnel and use a large piece of sheet metal to re-cover it.

There should be plenty of room for a radiator as the engine is only 3-1/2 cylinders long. Especially if electric fans are used.

yeah use a vn auto of t5 5 speed also from a vn

what exactly do you mean by cut the front out...
the vn radiator will fit between the chassis rails and just clear the bonnet, so its a great fit...and they have a little bit of room left over between the enigne and the radiator, not heaps though
but you will probably want to cut the radiator suport panel out so that it gets some airflow

yes you will have to modfiy the engine mounts and crossmember....as with 99% of engine conversions
mines just solid mounted as the vn engine mounts and huge and i didnt want to stuff around fitting them in
