If I were you, I'd get a 100% stock housing and send it off to Advanced Design Concepts to get a CAD model made. It is nearly impossible to 100% reverse engineer a piece like this without some sort of laser scan or touch probe because of all the fine details. By having a CAD model, you could have someone run an FEA simulation on the piece to determine where the stress concentrations are and then be able to specifically target your reinforcements.
True this is much easier.

However we did manage to reverse engineer a transfer case with a similar vague description of what happens with 100% success.
