That is it for now, I'll post again soon once we have machined some of these parts.

Did you consider the FWD 6-speed transmission from the B6 chassis A4?
Pros:
- Crank position sensor is in the correct location
- You can use an off the shelf flywheel and clutch
- Correct starter location for the V8
- 01A based like the Boxster transmission
Cons:
- Have to design shift mechanism since these are rod actuated and the mechanism is on the LH side. The kit car guys might have something in existence that works already though.
- Mounts - but you're designing those anyway.
Unknowns:
- Axles, but you might be able to find an VW/Audi axle that works.
I have actually purchased a 2.7tt to swap. I was looking for a base 2.7t 2000+ car since that Motronic version integrates better with the ME7 based 2.7t and V8 Audi stuff than does the older non-E-gas Boxsters. I ended up finding a nice 2003 Boxster S which I plan to keep H6 for the time being. So swap plans are on hold.
Until this point I've done a lot of thought about how I'd do the swap, but no actual measurement since I didn't have the Boxster to take measurements from. I also don't have a $80,000 laser scanner available, nor a machine shop, despite having used those scanners at work and having mechanical design and CNC programming experience. I wish I had your resources! Let me know if I can help out at all!
