Could be from an Audi 5000, they used the 016.

If the engine is going to cost you over $8000 that only leaves $2000 for the transmission and adapter. I think your budget is a little short.

If there isn't a bolt in the center then they just pull out. There is a snap ring on the end of the shaft that holds them in place.

Given the ratio of reverse gear you will have to run the electric motor pretty fast to get up to highway speeds. Also you will be running the ring and pinion on the back side which is not good for longevity. Look for a 996 transmission. About the same size as the 01E and would work better.

Mounted in that position the 01E will run backwards so you will have 6 reverse gears and one forward. Try a Porsche rear engine transaxle.

What is your budget? How much HP/Torque do you expect your engine to make? How concerned are you with authenticity? A lot of issues go into picking a gearbox.

What gear box do you have? Not all transmissions have a mechanical speedo drive.

Part of the issue is the throttle body is at the back of the intake manifold and gets in the way of doing a bundle of snakes type header system. I did headers for someone building a GT40 here in TX and that is why we went with more conventional design.

Maybe one from a wrecked Tesla?

I wish Ford would build a version of the mid-engine GT at a comparable price. It wouldn't have to be a twin turbo just have some decent performance.

Can it be inverted?

The Audi 016 is 12X1.0 thread.

Are you adapting to AN fitting? I tried to find one and never did. I ended up making my own. I will check on the thread and post here later.

The '99-'04 Boxster S 6-speed is probably about your best bet considering money spent for strength. The Audi 01X is another pretty good choice if you aren't planning too much HP. The Boxster has the advantage of already having cable shift designed on it so no additional linkage is necessary.

Weak transmission, not really suited for use with a V8.
