The engine bolts onto the standard crossmember. You either need to get a proper twincam box or just the front casing and fit it to the front of the standard 4/5-speed.

It does bolt right in, standard crossmember, etc.... I run a custom plate on the rear of the engine (the one between the eng and the box) it holds the starter motor on the left side and then I can run a standard Aussie box. Much cheaper than trying to hunt one down. Have had no problems with this

How much did the custom plate cost? I have a bellett and I am trying to fit a twincam box to a Gemini motor (clearance issues) and I need a price.
