Re T5 path, there are many variations available around the globe, so check your target ratios carefully.
One from a 6cyl Falcon is probably a good chioice - I'm thinking power/torque and weight of vehicle for the included ratios to suit a lightweight Capri.(but I have no info on this, merely surmising a relevant choice).
Many many moons ago ('70s), the Falcon had a 3.23 diff, which is comparable to the Capri 3.22 (or 3.09 if you're real fortunate). So a gearbox designed for a 3.23 diff should work fine with the 3.22 for driveability.
Even the Supra boxes had three different ratio sets. The one with the steel plate in the middle (model W58 IIRC) is the one to get (or so I'm told). The steel plate stops flexing of the casing. Dellows website has all the details.
Just my 5.5c worth.... (GST incl.)
