Re: MGB GT V8 Transmission size
Turbodave, yep, they remove the integral bellhousing and replace it with the adapter you see on mine. When I have a minute, I'll mate up the BOP bellhousing and take another pic. It was done at Hanlon Motorsport--they sell the adapter plate. They also replaced the entire gearset and upgraded the spline, to make it stronger and easier to shift. and then they threw in a short throw billet style shifter. Should be pretty awesome when I get around to having it behind the stroker Buick 300 I am planning.

Re: MGB GT V8 Transmission size
In the UK a common T5 variant for Rover V8's was the TVR T5 with the tail housing from a Sierra Cosworth , that is until the prices went through the roof. Both the TVR and Sierra T5's had a 1" 23 spline input shaft. which is NLA, while it lasted it put the gear lever in the correct position.
