You would probably have better luck making a 924 turbo snail trans-axle work:

Those trannies are among the most fragile units Porsche ever made. No parts available, even then, and when they failed back in the day, Porsche simply sold you another tranny at a steeply discounted price. Dave Aase was selling them for about 500 bucks, brand new.

I actually think it's an Audi designed trans and I would put $ on it being more robust than a 901. Taller gears as well, which would work well for a higher torque application...but your correct...impossible to find parts.
