That's right, I think it's the same as the RX8 box. I looked into it but it wouldn't fit in the Marlin tunnel

Re: Winter project
Great project car Neil, looks great already, RX8 box is popular and on the FB page RWD Zetec World you will find a couple of guys that sell the boxes with well made conversion kits and they're well priced. Tonys idea of MX5 engine and box is a good one especially if you stick an Eaton M45 Supercharger on it (Mk1 BMW Mini Cooper S)
But great looking car and like you I think thats the best looking front end option.
Good luck
