Hey Gareth, as promised, slightly better gearbox spreadsheet for you

If your going to buy a Type9 to modify start with a V6 version as they have better ratios to start with.

you will only need to change first gear to a 2.7.

input shaft is longer but if your rebuilding you can replace the long input shaft with a standard length one or use a  40mm bell-housing spacer, the bell housing will need to be swapped for an in-line one as engine bolt patterns are different.

there are 2 variations of V6 Type 9, the one with the larger lay shaft bearing carrier which sticks out at the front is the one to go for.
