Considering that used gearboxes to suit an FE motor in an AT wont be very expensive I wouldn't worry about trying to use your Laser gearbox. There are guys on the TX5 forum who have been giving them away before.

You could use the back half of the gearbox and use an F series bell with it but that'd mean pulling the box apart and re doing the bearing preloads.
Still not worth it in the context of above.

The front gearbox mount is attached to the bell section so if you used a B series bell you would still need to make your own mount.
