Considering a project which would fit a 928 automatic transmission into a 914 V8 conversion.

Looking for comments from informed clubbers, especially if there's someone out there that has done one.

Appears R&P does NOT have to be flipped.
Appears the starter will have to be installed from the engine side.
Will require a custom adapter plate and, probably, a custom flywheel.
Not sure of the fitment ( length, width, etc. ) and the angle as a result of the CV exit points.

Any comments / advice would be appreciated ...

Save yourself a BUNCH of hassle and use the Corvette rear tranny solution.

The issue is: the axle location.

Our gearboxes have the gear cluster BEHIND the axle line. They have it in FRONT of the axle line. You would have to extend the car 2 feet.

KEP sells and adapter for an Audi5000 Automatic that uses Ford C4 auto tranny parts (same size) It will handle a decent SBC 350

^ ^ ^ ^

Besides, as expensive a Mercedez Benz trans is to repair, why create a lot more work for yourself?

Here is an Interesting thought:

996TT ChickTronic

They will handle an easy 550hp and 500lb ft or torque.

Just dont use the front drive portion.. it is also a Mercedes tranny.

Damn.. not sure if you can flip the diff or not...

Here are some shots:

928 trans is 150 pounds for a manual and well over 200 for an auto.
the input to the trans is via and impeller shaft. you would have to figure out bell housing. one off piece.
