Holy McEngineSwap, it fits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I would have bet big $ this wasn't going to be the result, but here we are. The whole drive train needs to come up maybe another inch but it all looks totally workable. The axle angle looks better than with the LS/Boxster, the rear of the trans clears the body work and it looks like it'll all work with a stock fire wall location. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Good thing, because I've sourced another 914 and this drivetrain is going in!
I'll be starting a separate build thread for that one.

My existing car will keep its LS/Boxster set up and continue to be refined.

But wowzers, this is so f-ing COOL!



Very cool.. crazy that these engines are available like that. I would think qtys would be pretty low in the resale market

I can't believe that engine/transaxle fit; that is just crazy. You're going to need a bigger barn... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hoping this is the last pic of this before I start the new build thread.
How cool will it be to have this peaking out from under the bumper?

Enough of this Ferrari silliness. Let's get back to important things. Like voiding warranties by adding style points! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I've never been a fan of large expanses of plain material. In this case, it was my engine adaptor plate that wasn't doing it for me. I was losing sleep! It was just begging for some relief pockets.
So yesterday, when a machinist buddy stopped by to borrow a bending die, I asked if he could help. About an hour later, he sends me the pic.
Another touch that will likely go unnoticed by nearly everyone. Fellow style point appreciators @buddyv Robert and @Mikey63 Mike aside! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

@tygaboy - It is your attention to detail that sets this car apart from other builds. So, yeah, I love the reliefs cut into the engine adaptor plate. It makes it visually interesting.

I so look forward to seeing it with some plated parts and paint all assembled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The cool factor gets them looking. The details keeps them looking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Can't wait to see this in person! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It will probably piss off most of the Ferrari crowd which is . . . . perfect! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For those who've never seen the flywheel that's part of the LS/Boxster adaptor. It's a beauty! A big and heavy beauty, despite the lightening effort. But it has a big responsibility, don't it?

And my machinist buddy called and let me know to come pick up the part! Less than 24 hour turn-around. See, it really is all about who you know. And in this case? I know JP Morgan. No, really. That's his name. It is.

Sharp eyes will notice I'm form over function on this: the pockets were cut only in those surfaces visible from the top. Yep, it's all about style points! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Now if only I could do something about the back sides of those cylinder heads... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Public Service Announcement and Cuteness Overload:

My build may be slowed down a bit! My wife volunteers at Morti's Used Book Nook and Cat Adoption Lounge, here in Petaluma. Yes, it's a book store with free roaming, up-for-adoption kitties. It's a remarkable place.
https://www.petalumapetpals.org/mortibooksandcats

Anyway, we're fostering mother ChaCha and her litter of four. Once they reach 2 lbs, everyone heads off for spay/neuter then on to Morti's before heading to their "furever" home. Here I am, falling hard for Hula, while her brother, Twist, ignores us.

Second pic is the whole "Dance Crew". From left:
Twist, Disco, Hula, with JitterBug there in the background.
It's so easy to spend hours with them.

The PSA part of this is: If you can help foster, please consider it. These animal rescues do such amazing work and they need all the help they can get. Thanks!

It is pretty convenient that the backs of the heads have 4 threaded holes... I bet there is a plasma cut plate or machined aluminum piece in the works. I'm looking forward to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
