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)

Allan,
BTW, have you addressed the axles? My 75 911 axles and CV's mated perfectly to an Audi 1.8t transaxle and were the correct length. They are too large, however for the boxster transaxle. I'm guessing the output flanges may be interchangeable.

Are you positioning the Boxster transaxle in line with the wheels or behind them for engine clearance as with all the V8 conversions?
