Sorry to rehash old threads again, but we're about to embark on this project soon, I hope. We're looking at possibly either a, turbo'd 2.0 Type 4, Subaru or SBC v8 and an automatic transmission(for the veterans). My question, what transmission would work. I've read that Auto(fwd or 5000 model) will work. Passat trannys are the same as Boxsters, and Subaru fwd trannys.
Any suggestions or recommendations? We hope to do this over the winter. We'd appreciate any suggestions to help us finally get this done. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Anything can fit if you have a plasma cutter and a welder... Moving the firewall forward is very possible; Rick did that for the Alien. Works well for him because he doesn't need as much legroom as some of us. Or he figured the 928 engine was worth sacrificing some legroom for!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
