rwd gearboxes and starter motor

Hi, I'm looking for a gearbox with the starter motor to the right.

My car is LHS and I'm looking at options to change the engine, so everything is welcome, but I would like to put the engine as far as posible (as it is now) but a bellhousing with the stater to the left will fool the chassis!

Thanks.

I have a LHS locost, toyota Corolla GTS RWD 1986-87, twin cam 4 valve, crown gear in the rear axle is offset to the right so book version transmission tunnel needs shifting about 5cm, everything else fits, starter motor is on left facing forward.

very easy, a EURO type9 has the starter on the opposite side compared to the UK type9 and it still bolts straight up to a zetec or pinto

Or the Escort RS2000 Alloy bellhousing which has a starter motor position on both sides, you would need an RS2000 LHD ally sump or do what i did and just plate over the unwanted startermotor hole and drill a hole for the clutch cable.
