Default 01E Trans swap? Or 01A LS1 Flywheel adapter? (EDIT)

From my previous job I have an LS1 and harness I was going to put in a project wagon that was stolen yesterday. I dont forsee getting the wagon back (neither did the cops) so I did some poking around and it seems ford GT40 replica builders use an audi 01E 6 speed trans (from a A6TT or S4TT) to mate up an LS1 with a flywheel adapter. Im wondering if anyone has ventured this route, or if theres a source for flywheel adapters to mate up to an 01A?

(see the 4k forum or norcal about the stolen 71 vista cruiser)

EDIT: Here's the info about what i found poking around. Including an LS1 mated up to an 01E, obviously the exhaust would be routed differently but looks awesome!

Default There's someone floating around out there with an LT1 in a 5000...

But IIRC, he was running an O16 in it.

Default Yes, they used the 016...

The LT1q is in Colorado with it's current owner now IIRC from when RD last mentioned the car on MG.
