Curiosity got me to pondering the above questions....
Suppose non-Subaru motor for the Subaru transmission and non-Boxster/Audi engine for the Boxster transmission. What about axles and hooking up to the drive hubs? One easier or vastly less expensive than the other? EDIT 2/21/2016: Now with pictures comparing Boxster transmission to 901 transmission |

And this company makes adapters for Type IV and GM LSX motor to Subaru transmissions http://www.subarugears.com/Adaptors/Adaptors.html Really curious about this adapter behind a 6. Could be a definitive solution to the 901 1st gear / shift linkage / parts cost and availability challenges. |
