I think you may need to build the +4" chassis to fit the cossie V6 in it. You need to measure up the engine to find out.
I think people have previously had trouble with the MT75X gearbox due to the large bulge for the front propshaft being where your passenger should be.
If that box fits though, I see no reason why a standard MT75 wouldn't, the only difference is the 4 wheel drive section at the back.
PS. if you find a 2.0 twin cam XR4x4, it will come with an LSD!
Had enough of this dictatorship known as LCB. Gone elsewhere, not coming back. Kiss my ass ChrisW.

Chippy on here has fitted a V6 cossie motor in his locost although I think it's an oversize chasis.
