There are not really any car trans that will mate up. Now I'm sure that you could prob remove the gears from the busa and make some sort of custom adapter to mate it to a trans axle, but thats way above my level.
So how strong is the busa trans...I think this says enough.

Hayabusa V8 engine - The Kneeslider

There is also Hartley Enterprises.

His V8 busa's start around $25,000. So you can kinda see why I'm not going with the V8. Of course this is the perfect V8 for us MR2 owners. I mean who wouldn't want 400hp, 245ft/lb and only weighs 200lbs. Oh yeah and did I mention it redlines at 10,000 RPM's. Of course I figure if I had the money to spend on that kind of motor, I would buy 2 of them and make a V16 that would still fit under the hood of my Scout.

Yeah you and me both. I just put my truck up for sale the other day so I gotta give it some time for everything to pan out. In the mean time I'll continue to make contacts and try to track down sources for parts.
