Well, whadaya know, I actually bought the wrong gearbox! this unit I had would only fit an m20 or m40 block, but mine was the M50. First of all, the engine is mounted slightly more canted by 10% to the right (from the driver's perspective), requiring a mod to the gearbox mount. secondly, the tip of the shaft is of a smaller diameter, requiring another mod to fit.
I thought about for a while, and then decided I didn't like the feeling of modding it, so I put it up for sale...fortunately, I managed to sell it off two days ago.
And I also managed to find the right gearbox, a ZF S5D-320Z taken from a e36 328i. Still need the rear diff though. Once I get that I'll be able to start sometime the third week of Dec. Fingers crossed!
