<Also, the 3 main 3 synchro trannys are not easily "interchangeable" 
with the 5 main ones because of the size of the pilot bushing/input 
shaft. >

Putting a 5 main engine ito a car that had a 3 main one is no sweat, you just 
use a custom crankshaft  bush to suit the smaller input shaft. Moss used to 
sell these, I believe. Going the other way can be a bit more trouble, as you 
would need to turn down the end of the input shaft, but once you did that, 
you'd be able to fit either 3 or 5 main engines, with the correct bush in the 
end of the crank.
