It looks like the C52 might also bolt up, but am not positive. That is a stronger trany then the C50 and might offer better ratios?

Hmmm, thanks... what cars did te C50 come in?

Even if I find a tranny, I believe that the biggest issue is going to be finding a ECU that will work...

Hmmm, I really can't say when the C50 was first used, but the MR2 had it in the early models. Let me dig a little more and see.

Awesome, I started to do some research and just found this online... on a AE92 page

"Did you know that the Mk1 AW11 N/A MR2 (damn... that was a lot of letters in there, huh?!) has the same C52 tranny as the AE92 GT-S? If you're thinking about going to the wrecking yard and finding an MR2's tranny to replace your tired tranny in the AE92... FORGET IT!!! Remember, the MR2's drivetrain is behind the passenger cabin. Thus, the AW11's shifter mechanism is on the opposite of the AE92's. You're always free to crack the case open and see if you can swap the shifter mechanism's internals, but you're on your own here!"
