Nearly sure it's an early Supra gearbox.

If its a 2.0L engine then its a 907 as used in the Jensen Healey as well. The JH used either a UK Chrysler 4spd or a Getrag 5spd. There are a couple
JH folks converting to the Supra box though.
Try the JH forums as a start:

The 907 is an ealry version of the 912 that was fitted in the Esprits and more importantly the front engined, rear wheel drive Excel. The Excel used
Mk1 toyota Supra running gear so this would be the easiest and most straightforward way to fit this engine in a locost.
Don't think it will be particularly easy though and there are much better engines out there these days.

The Elite and Eclat had the Getrag box I seem to recall.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!
