Hi, I wish to introduce myself I'm a newbie. I have been lerking for a while and I am amazed at the ingenuity of the members here, specifically with V8 transaxles. I too am relentlessly pursuing the affordable V8 transaxle.
The 944 turbo trans certainly is appealing, the 944 V8 conversion community appears to be happy with it. I know it doesn't lend itself to mid engine application, bell housing and input shaft not designed for clutch.
Now I'm no machinist, just an inquiring mind and I know there are members that may have thought of this but I have not read anything in my searches.
Is it reasonable to lop off the 944 bell housing, adapt the appropriate V8 bell housing and machine the input shaft for a clutch/pilot bearing or adapt a Audi 016 input shaft or a combination of the above?
There I asked, your comments are appreciated.
