Do you have an old block to assemble the pistons onto for the rented tool? Maybe you can send josh your pistons and have them machined on a mill?

Besides the abuse... smooth shifting compared to the m46/47, T5
Need to get the notch tool from Josh and I should probably order that too.
What kind of torque is the Getrag rated for? The gm worldclass is good for 325 to 350ftlbs......all depends on the driver. I like my positive engagement and rail type shifter of the T5.
Hope that 20 year,old getrag with crappy ratios no aftermarket world and expensive rebuilds holds up. Also have you driven a getrag? Not a smooth tranny... A t5 is smoother stock with a after market shifter is tighter than a 12 year old
Don't forget to look into a billet crank gear and some solid cam dowels. Id even put one into the auxilary shaft.
Metric Mechanic does offer upgrade for the transmission.
Hmmmmm. The 265 that I drove in a 535is was a terrible shifting transmission. It didn't like to be rushed from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th.

Does your block need to get bored? What wideband are you running? And make sure to set the valve springs proper seat pressure.
I'll throw in a vote of confidence for the Getrag 265.
double sprangs ftw? am i the only one running them?
