Hi Chris, Peter and Slats,
I wouldn't call it "modern," but you can easily install a BW 65 in place 
of a BW35 and there seem to be more people around who can rebuild one of 
those.  You can even find good used "65's" from scrapped SD1's.  Any 
"65" from an SD1 will do and all you need is the shifter from a Series 2 
P6B that used a "65" OEM.  Folks in the UK, NZ or Oz should have lots of 
these.  The rear flange on the SD1 "65" will require the drilling of two 
more holes to mate up to the P6B driveshaft.  You will need the whole 
BW65 assembly (although the flexplate may be the same).  Even the 
kickdown cable is a straight bolt-on.  Don't know about cooler lines, 
though.  I plan to do this when the "35" in my P6B gives out, although 
it seems to be fine at present.
