suppose someone would want to use the 2.0 liter NA motor in a rear engine application.
What transmission would work? It would be best to go to a smaller, older, air-cooled tranny (901 or 915) I suppose a larger tranny could be done...its just metal to cut out of the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Rich |

I already worked that one out. It just takes a custom transmission mount. The problem with the NA 718 motor is the width. I don't think it will fit between the inboard suspension console ears of a 914 chassis. I know a Boxster/Cayman six won't fit because it is too wide. I suspect the 718 motor is the same width, just shy two cylinders. |
