Just before the summer I bought an old 97 Boxster base model with the intention of (in due time) swapping in a Audi V8 (BBK engine is what my eye is looking for).
The biggest unknown for me is the gearbox / driveshaft side of things. So I picked up a brand new Audi 0A2 gearbox yesterday. If my info is correct this should essentially be a G87.20 box, but with the tall diesel gearing.
I plan to drop the gearbox from the Boxster sometime next month or November. That should tell me whether the bolts will align between engine and gearbox. The clutch doesn't worry me too much, as both are made for 240mm clutch, I am sure I can find a combination that works on both the engine and the gearbox.
Now the biggest question will be on the driveshafts. Is there any default shaft set that will fit. Or do I need either different flanges on the gearbox or different hubs on the car?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
