here is the transmission on the engine, i had to adapt a camry 1mzfe starter to fit the mazda bellhousing, i cant find a pic of it right now...its not super complicated though, its a gear reduced starter, the T2 started lacks the nuts for a v8.

here is the shifter relocation mod i had to do to move the engine back 4 inches and retain stock interior, only permanent mod to the trans itself was i had to cut off one ear of the original shifter housing boss on the tailhousing.
