"I just bought this motor for a swap, what should I expect"
Lots of ???? grab your wallet
But if it helps you can come on over to take measurements from my LSV8 914.
I'm local to you.

Wow that looks like an 11:1 285hp v6... not a bad swap...
Needs lots of radiator...
I know pic says lv1, same motor without Active Fuel Management.
Neat motor, I was looking at them for a swap into my Volvo 242.
You can do a standalone with the factory ECU.

I sent you a PM
Is that the motor that revs to 8300?
I considered it but I found a low mileage LS1 with some extra bits for low bucks.
You can go onto YouTube and listen to different exhaust systems for this motor. I personally liked the Borla the best with the X pipe. Sounds V8 at idle the on the top end kind of Ferrari.
Kennedy makes the adapter for several trannys that you can put in there.
You may be able to keep the stock water pump due to the shorter size. The LS1 you need an electric water pump.
Could I get a favor from you? I need the measurement of that motor from the front to the rear of the block. I have had something in the back of my mind for a while
Cool motor but its gonna be a tight fit
And . A automatic /with true paddle shift
Would be the cats p.j. ... Might as well really make it special imho
The picture you posted looks like a regular domestic type transmission, not a transaxle.
You do know the difference, don't you?
Wait for someone to total the new C8 'vette and grab the 8 speed auto.
That transmission will not work. As Larmo says, you need a transaxle.
A Subaru WRX or STi trans with 4wd-delete might work - depends on being able to get the drive shafts in alignment with the rear wheels.
There will be lots of fabricating to get anything to work, though. Also, with the auto, I'm thinking the electronics will need to be configured to talk to each other.
Use the Boxster 6 speed
