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.
