Need favor in Sun Valley.... Boxster transmission, need a transmission picked up.... Options

[Mueller]

and stored for a few weeks.....

there is a Boxster transmission I need for R&D to try and make them more readily adaptable to our air-cooled engines......I know it's been done before with a 3.2 six
(and rumor is a V8 is adapting on for his conversion)

Thanks,

QUOTE (Neo914-6 @ Aug 7 2005, 10:42 AM) Jason watched (maybe bid) on that core tranny.  I found another complete one but it shot up to $600 in the end, still not a bad price.  A core would be perfect to hack up and try to mount or weld a TIV/bus bellhousing.  Cable shift and mounts and your almost there... The Boxster trans is perfect for a TIV or 6 but pushing it for a V8.   I wish someone would work on a 300-400 hp/torque V8 alternative.  MikeP looked into Mendeola, then almost 930/KEP-Chevy mix ala ZF/Pantera, but in the end went "typical" 930 V8 set up and still in the $10k range. Well Felix; hopefully within a few weeks my Boxster tranny and V8 will be operational and then I can start to give some feedback to those that might be interested. Might I say the Boxster Cable Shifter is Very Sweet and I am looking forward to the finished teener. I've never even driven as Teener before,but hopefully it will handle either like my go-kart of old or my early days formula ford racer. Time will tell Allan

Allan,

I keep saying a few weeks as the weeks go by... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Did you develop the adapter plate and flywheel? The Boxster tranny is probably stronger than the 901/914 and still cheaper/disposable. I doubt you will be pushing it to see it's limits but if it holds up to normal driving it's a great alternative. Maybe the 6-speed is stronger yet...

You have me thinking about my V8...

BTW, I got some Boxster mounts that I would like to use. I recall you and the guy with the 3.2-6 fabbed your own.
