I would highly recommend having a chat with Colin about the BE box mounting kit and shafts.

Shafts need to be custom shortened BE type, though I do think there was mention of 206 shafts fitting with original hubs, as the engine is shifter 20mm towards the nearside to give equal shaft lengths and better weight distribution, access to timing belt, also inner CV to chassis clearance.

Bearings would be standard Saxo/106, drive flanges depend on my comment above, typically a turned down BE drive flange pressed into standard Saxo/106 hub and bearing.

Regarding the gearbox, there is no standard TU-BE4 box that'll have that great a set of ratios, the one that Ross mentioned isn't too bad, but there's plenty of stuff you can swap into the casing easily enough to make something up that'd suit.
