The dog engagment gearset is the way to go, also lightweight casing. If you searched you could pick up a 26g quaife seq box as they are now surpassed by 60g and have dropped in value. I sold a Quaife alloy dogbox last year for £2200 .

Have a look at tran x I'm running a 4speed dogbox type E same as the type 9 just 4 speed, I think there gear kits are around 700. My 2.3 duratec is turning out
277 Bhp and 220 ft lb torque. Give me a call if you need any specs ie ratios speeds tyre sizes etc.
