Message	is not there. The Cosworth was a stressed member, part of the chassis. I would have to build an "exoskeleton" around the VG (or whatever else I would use) to hold the monocoque to the gearbox (also a stressed member, it's what the rear suspension mounts to). The gearbox can be seen here. It's already 'in' the car.
