Thank you for he ideas, but I've been through them all!
The 964 engines are great but finding one impossible and probably tired.
The G50 box would need to be turned upside down (as used in Ultima's etc) which will put the driveshafts in a difficult place for alignment but would essentially bolt in.
I could use the PMO's too as they are big enough for the larger capacity.
Compromise is the 964 engine to the 915 which is a simple task and can even use the hydraulic clutch too.
The AUDI V6 is a big engine in size and tall, the flat 6 is so low and of course good for CofG etc in the car. The AUDI may weigh even more than the 3.2.
The Audi box would be ideal for a mid engine application. Price is a major advantage. Would sound good too.
An alternative would be the AUDI 1.8 turbo and box. This engine is small and light and can be tweeked to high bhp/rpm and the box would be ideal too.
This idea was seriously considered a few years ago when the 3.2/box was such a real pain to get right.
Maybe I'm getting an itch to do something in the garage !
I have the 911 to prep for paint, possibly some local welding to do since it was last welded in 1988, there must be some to do.
Not sure I'm ready to do a 4th 2 wheeler restoration so looking at the Lola.
Time to think it through. Wife wants to stay as we are (she loves hillclimbing motorsport) as it works and looks great.
Sounds good I'm told, I've never heard it go up a hill.
This was taken in 2013 when it ran badly but actually changed gear cleanly.
