The VR6 is a mess of an engine for this chassis. Don't get me wrong, it's a brute, but fitting it in this car is a hassle. I'm not sure of anyone who makes a bellhousing adapter or the 914 tranny and even if they did, it pushes the limits of what the tranny can take.
Beyond that, it's TALL and LONG because of the intake and the tranny side timing chain. I'm working on fitting an Audi 12v V6 and tranny right now. Very similar engine, but there's not a lot of tuning options available for it. The nice part is the tranny was made for the engine so that's a no brainer, output flanges that'll fit the axles on the other hand... |
