    Mounting Cossie engine and RX8 box

    Miles away from this but yet but want to start getting the parts up together.
    Will be fitting a YB Cossie engine mated up to a RX8 box.
    i have bought a complete RX8 which I will be stripping, so I have a box, picking up the adaptor plate next weekend.
    But what world cup cross member are you all using? And what are you using for a gearbox mount for the RX8 gearbox?
    The car will be fitted with a big box tunnel.
