you are thinking along the right lines with either the jag manual box,, can't remember if the jag xj40 one is removable bellhousing though, but
they are cheap enough
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Getrag 265 from my XJ40 donor has a removable bellhousing. It was also used on a few BMW's in the 80's (cant remember which though).
These gearboxes have meen mated to 6.0 V12's before so should have no problems handling the power.
There is a slightly different version used on the X300 which was used on the supercharged 4.0 but i dont know the model.
The only thing i will say is, although these gearboxes are pretty reliable, spares are abit thin on the ground.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

My suggestion would be the Supra gearboxes mentioned above, W58/57 and also the stronger R154
