There is a guy locally (malta), who suposedly built his own reverse box for his Blade engined car. I have yet to meet this chap. I had seen his car during a charity show, where you donate something to get a ride on a car. He was way too busy to be spoken to.

Doesn't adding something as heavy as a type 9 box somewhat negate the weight advantages of a bike engine?

he's planning on using some internals. not a whole T9....

If you draw it up in solidworks or something and have machined out of billet, and you're using the same measurements as a normal T9, it should work....
