OK...I thought about putting this in the wanted thread (Apologies to the mods if this breaches rules, please delete if inappropriate)
Does anyone know where I can get an engine cradle for converting my 914 using the WRX engine and transmission? I know you can buy from a few sources and mod to suit but my fabrication skills are lacking and i'd need to pass an engineering check here in Aus. Any info/leads appreciated. |

Why not use modified 911 axle shafts? Dutchman Axles will turn them down for $135/pair to fit Subaru tri-pod joint on the inner side, and they will fit 108mm Porsche 911/930 CVs on the outside. Both are cheap-n-easy to source (Subaru for the former and EMPI/GK/etc for the latter). The 108mm CVs bolt right up to 911 stubs/hubs for a 5-lug conversion, and the setup should be bomb-proof and be way cheaper than the SAW custom axles. See post #179 of Suby-Engined Rustoration for details.
