Tranny Transplant

I'm wondering if anyone has adapted a late model synchro tranny to a 1275. It 
always seemed to me that they were a little stronger than the ribcase and would 
make driving a bit easier...

I'll admit that being part of the "we tight" club also has a little to do with 
this question. I have a couple of 1500 trannies and 1275 engines to play with 
for the some day auto-x-er.
