Essentially it's not that easy with the pump, the electronic system is too coarse with 7.5mm elements, it'll be nigh on undriveable... You'll be looking at a mechanical 603 pump and then changing the elements - don't assume you'll be able to set up an M pump on the car, it's nigh on impossible, because you have control of the governor in both directions, it's a balancing act all the time, unlike a VE, it means with ANY adjustment to the pump, you'll end up screwing the governor and ending in it hunting like a twat, blowing coal, and it's 50000000x more sensitive with 7.5mm elements... Put it this way, if you do it yourself, it'll NEVER pass an MOT.
You'd be wanting a Myna or similar pump, remember also they have NO dynamic timing adjust, other than if you get one with the centrifugal timing gear, ALDA is wank and usually ends up being sacked off for a boost actuator on the stop lever.
From what I've heard, the trannies aren't that simple, if you're wanging 400hp through it, you're talking 500lb.ft of torque, not even cosseh boxes will take that,you'll just pull all the teeth of all the gears. Clutches - you'd need something custom and probably multiplate.
