Anything’s possible.

I think the reason for a Tremec is the available gear ratios.
Likely a tighter shift feel too?
Does the output end of the R7ME seem large, vs opening of the Elan tunnel?

I dont see measurements out there, if you find them could they be posted please.

Find out where the limits are, and start from there

Don't know the dimensions yet but it looks like shifter location would not be a problem.
