Well the good is that some F1s had side shift transmissions, so that part of the swap (column, linkage) should be pretty seamless. Bad is that it looks like the solenoid will land right about where the F1 crossmember lives.

Seems like Chassis Engineering has some engine/trans swap stuff for F1s, I bet there is a tubular trans crossmember that would be a good match for the rear mount on the overdrive. Good luck, looks like a cool idea to me!
