I love the build. As a fellow mid-engine LS guy, I would really like to know more about the 930 transaxle. Have you had a chance to drive it yet? How did you choose the 930 box over the other Porsche units available?
Thanks

I've got a couple thousand on it now, and two track days. It runs and handles well, even more so after some modified uprights to change the camber gain. Several reasons I chose the 930 are, 1) It is debatable that it is one of the strongest Porsche street car transaxles they built (I know a guy that runs a twin turbo SBC in front of one, without failure), 2) gearing is perfect for a high-torque motor, 3) Relatively economical for its torque capacity, and 4) relatively lighter than the later good Porsche offerings (G50-50 for example). Obviously there are down sides, which is the old-school synchros, which does require some attentive shifting at specific situations, and it only has 4 speeds, but all are usable. I run mine inverted.
