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 |

I have the first actual aluminum plate sitting on the table in my laundry room (gotta love a wife that loves 914s). It is partially drilled, but we are not quite sure if the holes are going to line up. So I am going to test fit it to the trans, and use transfer punches to mark the holes.
Once I can hook the engine to the trans, then I get to verify that the clutch setup will work. Pictures in my thread soon. I think the Boxster/Cayman trans is the fix for the high horsepower sixes. But for a type IV, I don't think it's necessary. It is a LOT heavier than the 901, and a lot more work to fit up. Anyone know where I can get a 12" rotary table cheap? Used is fine. The finish on the big hole in the center looks terrible using a 6" rotary table. |
