You should be able to get a suitable BMW transmission for $1-2k, plus 2-3x that to adapt it.

but when you add in the rest of the fabrication and parts required (that appears to be a complete kit), I bet that rolling your own doesn't save much, if anything.

Of course, the question is whether or not the V12 is compatible with the same transmissions. I'm not concerned about the power rating.
