 Have a look for a Lotus Sunbeam gearbox on ebay uk, they come up every few weeks, but they are expensive (around 700 US$ for std ratio, and twice that for a GP4 set of ratios), But they come ready with a 900 series bell housing that fits a 910, a 911 or a 912, so I assume a 907, and a cable clutch.

This is the getrag box as per the M3/M5, so I assume it is the same box as you are talking about, but with a special case and 900 bell housing made by the factory.

These boxes take a lot of power, I've heard talk of 700+ horse power, What I know is I've gone through 3,  2.2 engines and never had any trouble with the box, either in a Rally sunbeam or on my track car. And the ratio's are ideal for a 2.2.

Problem is that the box is very slow across the gates, 4-3 is very slow, but this boxis bomb proof.

You would need to source a clutch plate as the spines are not as the Elite etc, I am told that there are two different spines available, but I've only seen one.
