I checked the M90 after I read your post, and it certainly looks like it would do the job. I'm not sure that they might not be hard to find (and pricey!) over here, according to the forums I scanned. There's a lot of talk online about importing them. Nice looking package, though.

I think I may have to go back a step. The easiest and by far cheapest solution is to stick with one of the truck gearboxes. They're more than strong enough (overkill really), short and heavy, but plentiful and priced accordingly. I was hoping to lose some of the gear noise that they can generate, but I'll just have to spend some of the savings on soundproofing!
