While not suitable for front engined cars, this could be another solution for mid engined BECs. LINK

Yes but... it's $4,995 (before shipping charges to UK from US).

I also found out it is set up to receive Porsche 930 CV joins, but seeing as it utilizes a 5:1 Quaiffe ATB diff, I would think it could accept other drive bells.
It's connected to the engine via a cush drive and is rated at 500hp, so should be more than capable of handling even a puffed Busa motor.

Steve:

Isn't that $495 US for the Type 4 CV? I think the one he's talking about is $525 US. This seems too cheap...

From their price list:
Rear drive unit (type 4 CV) $495.00
Rear drive unit (930 CV) $525.00
Those prices are for their standard rear drive units (glorified bearing housings). The transaxle is $4,495.00 which is 2485 quid plus shipping etc.

That is crazy money. They have lost their mind. Isn't a Quaffe unit half the price and twice the prestige?

Sometimes I wonder about people...
