Simple fact of the matter is that the Grey motor gearbox supports the twin rear engine mounts with only a single mount on the front of the engine.
Red motors have the dual mounts on the engine and a single mount at the rear of the gearbox.
Hence if you put a Red box behind a grey engine than you only have 2 mounts on the centre line of the engine / gearbox which is no good.
If you have a look at the recent post of putting a 4 speed behind a grey you will see the extent to which you will have to go to manufacture a bracket to support the grey engine mounts.
Otherwise the box will bolt up to the grey engine no problems.

What about using a EJ bellhousing they have the side mounts like the FC. Some one must have done this conversion before to know if the mounts line up or need modifying
