Porsche G50?

Yep, its almost exactly twice the weight of a 412 manual tho...(and a bit longer).
It has a nice hydraulical slave clutch cylinder in about the same location as the type 4 tranny tho

So, what kind of powerplant are you putting behind this thing?

Non, just brainstorming

I thought that was probably the case. Nice to know it actually looks feasible, though, if I were to win the lottery. Those transaxles are big $$$$ over here at least! Does anyone know how durable the original 004 is? Or am I going to have to blaze some trails and push 200-300 horses through one via a turbocharged Subaru motor and find out*? (*Note: not likely to happen anytime soon

)

This one isn't/wasn't because its probably shot. This one was coupled to a turbo engine it wasn't designed for...and a few more things don't add up. But who knows it may be ok for the most part.

The original tranny is probably about the strength of a 914 tranny I suspect.
