Neo914 powerplant mates!!!!, Audi V6 twin turbo likes Boxster tranny Options

[neo914-6]

I couldn't find a Gates hose supplier open today so my V8 project got stalled. I really need to get this car running before Neo914 arrives from WA.

I went ahead and dug out the Boxster tranny buried behind the 914 V8 and got my new jack installed in my engine lift to get the Audi block on a dolly. This enabled me to test mate them for the first time. I knew the patterns were close but I found the alignment pins matched perfectly and most of the other holes as well. The starter pocket matched too. This means no adapter, no modifying the bellhousing, or finding an alternative tranny. The Audi pins had a shoulder but the diameter matched so all I need to do is buy the pins from the Porsche parts dealer and buy the bolts from the Audi parts dealer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Should be an interesting porject and at least it will all be "German"
I know you had commented in my Project 914-LT1 posting regarding
a BOXSTER tranny and V8 engine. Which is what I am currently completing
in my vehicle.

BTW in your picture of the tranny and V8 did you actually connect them together
or just do a mock / trial fitting to see if they were compatable. We you actually
also thinking of doing the Boxster and Chev V8 combo also ?

Anyway I have attached photo that confirms my setup and what I am currently
doing; hopefully it will be on the streets within a month or two. Keep in touch.
