i think it would be cheaper to make a gearbox from aluminum plate rather than cast a whole box as the transmission is really just a box. but i also think it would be easier to use an existing transmission box and reinforce it. aluminum welding is hard but if you have a good welder and some good automotive engineering help, there is no reason why you should not be able to make a perfectly strong transmission.
but i have to wonder this: would it not be reinventing the wheel since the saab factory rally people did all the engineering already? why not copy what they were doing. of course you would have to get a look at the old rally boxes but they are around.
