Hi Gordy.  I did the same swap.  I put a BJ8 gearbox in my Longbridge BN4.  I
did it about 13 years ago, but from want I remember I used the BJ8 clutch.  I
used the center shift fiberglass tunnel and had to add a bit of metal (to the
tunnel) on both sides that connects to the floor.  Also the OD comes REAL
close to the frame at the rear of the gearbox.  I spaced the rear mounts up a
bit to help with clearance- rather then cutting and notching the frame.
