Engine Rotation / Boxster Tranny

Greetings:

Looking for some info from the "experts" whomever of you that
may be. Since the boxster is a Mid-Engine water cooled it was
suggested that I should consider a Boxster Tranny for my 914
project car. I am considering the use of Only the Tranny, and as
such trying to clarify some items. My questions:

1/ Does Boxster engine rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
(someone mentioned that it may be different from other
late model Porsche's

2/ Is the Boxster tranny that much stronger or beefier than
an aluminum 915 tranny.

3/ What kind of Top Speed can one expect from a Five speed
Boxster at say 6,000 RPM with standard gearing and tires

4/ Anyone know if it could handle 350lbs torgue and 350 HP for
an engine conversion into a 914.

Thanks for your replies and appreciate your good comments
Merry CHRISTmas.

Allan,

Read this thread Tranny swap

Check with Kennedy Engineering Products if they have an adapter and clutches

Check the boxster forums for specs and problems. There are more "experts" there.

There is a member converting to Boxter drivetrain but the mods to the engine bay will be extensive.

Some people have successfully done put this torque with stock 901/914 trannys with respect for the clutch but the 930 makes more sense. The boxster tranny should be stronger than the 901. Why do you like the Boxster tranny?

Welcome to 914world.com and conversions
