Kennedy Engineering makes all sorts of engine/transmission adapters so the
joining won't be your problem -- fitting the tranny between the rear seat
and engine will be your problem as will grafting the shifter and fitting
the linkage.
Just in case anyone is interested, my 914 needs a new clutch and flywheel
and the total job runs around $600. Ouch. Right now she's in the shop
getting the whole tranny rebuilt (189K miles) and that'll cost me another
$1000 or more. The 911 gearbox ain't cheap (but it's durable)!
It looks like my quest for a Gene Berg 5-speed and performance tranny has
been delayed for quite some time. The 5-speed kit will cost about
$800-$900 and a performance tranny about $1000. And together the time to
build will take anywhere from 1-3 months (Berg does their 5-speeds in
batches and not immediately upon sale). I just took a loan out for the 914
and that's got me strapped for cash for some time. Why can't auto
mechanics take payment on credit like other large money purchase places?

Just a quickie really,
does anyone know whether you can fit any Porsche 911/915
gearboxes/transmissions(US) to the late model Type 3 with IRS rear suspension
as you can do in the bug ? ,and if so what do you have to do to install theg
g'box.
I have read the Volksworld article in Sept 1997 issue on installing into the
bug and wonder whether there have been any features printed on doing the same
with the Type 3.
Any help/leads would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.
I would like to transplant the 1970cc Type 4 motor from my '80 wedge into my
'73 fastback and would like to know what to do regards cooling tinware/engine
mounting bracket
Thanks
