I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

When you pull the pan on the suby motor check the pickup real close as they are known to be brittle from the brazing process at the block flange and the pan definately looks like it's against the pickup. a lot of suby pickups are too close to the pan and when guys jack the motors up against the pan bottom the pickup gap gets real tight and some pickups have broken either from vibration or getting fractured from hitting the pan.

This engine is probably already got spun bearings due to oil starvation. This engine cradle and tranny adapter looks excellent. You could easily get a ez30r in there with it being less than an 1" longer than a ej257 ect. A built ej257 with a gt35r can crank out over 500 whp/wtq. Most builds are probably between 350-400 whp/wtq. If the porsche tranny can hold up to this, it sounds like one hellofa setup. jw |
