    I believe there was an article in practical performance car a few months ago where a guy built an older model estate (maybe a 740?) with a long mounted T5 and rear wheel drive. It did give details as to which gearbox to use but i dont remember exactly, all i remember is there was a LOT of custom work to get it to work, and thats based on an already RWD car.

    I believe it was also running a turbo from a scania wagon.

    Anyway, it was pale blue with a black/carbon fibre bonnet.

    Yeah, some good stuff on there, wish they would elaborate a bit more on the tuning side though
