your on the right track, it is relatively common for the wealthier locals
in oz to use the TR7, Dolomite 1850 or even Marina box internals in the GT6
case (there based on the GT6 box). Over here however, it is cheaper and
easier to use the 2500 sedan (TR6 type) box, as TR7 4 speeds are not that
common. 

best of luck.
