You can put Hewland gears in pretty much anything, in SCCA racing the old production cars (Austin-Healey Sprite/Midget) MGB's; Triumph Spitfires) are doing it for years. You have to have all the shafts made for them. Just remmember though, thier really loud! and you won't have ANY synchros. You can shift without the clutch, if your good (read fast) And you can have ANY ratios to choose from (there are hundreds of combinations depending on the tracks straighaway length). But they do use less power and there are fewer rotating parts. Drag racers use air shifters on them, so all they need is a button on the steering wheel.
