VW W12 to Porsche G86.20 transaxle

[Earl Balzen]

In 2005 Chris made me an adaptor to fit my aluminum 427 SOHC engine to my new Ricardo transaxle in my scratch built GT40. I got the engineering data for the Ricardo from Ford Racing to furnish to him and he got it made and shipped to me very quickly. He knows what he is doing and is very good at it.

Short update - talked to Chris and Clutch Industries in Australia. Chris will make me a flywheel and an adapter plate. We will use the UniClutch 8" track for this.

Drawings made and Chris is starting the machining.
Looking forward to it all!

Some updates / clutch and gearbox made to work.

Distance from front of engine to driveshafts is 735mm

Renegade Hybrids uses these G86.20 gearboxes - they claim

"the stock (Boxter S G86.20) 6-speed transaxle will handle the LS V-8 torque up to 500HP with minimal abuse"

Cool project. Is there any support for that engine? like overhaul parts? Are they Alusil bores?
Is that 735mm from front of crankshaft pully to centerline of output shaft?
