OM60x to GM Manual Trans adapter?
I know exactly what your after with the scattershield/bellhousing. A steel scattershield isn't that hard to make since its easy to weld with just about anything, that said adapting the rear of one to fit the block pattern will be pretty easy as well. Trace the front of a Merc bell or rear of the block and get it cut out to what you need. Does it actually have to be attached to the box or could you 1/4 plate part of the trans tunnel? I guess that would be a heavier option if it were allowed.
When I did a couple of adapted bellhousings a few years ago I flipped the engine on its nose and assembled the box onto it vertically to get the alignment right and simply welded it up.
The trans being tilted is actually fairly stock in US applications. The mustang is exactly like that and it causes us on this side of the pond no end of trouble because the stick is tilted away from us in right hand drive mode.
