Using logic, I would use the Boxster tranny.

The 911 engine is rear engine (tranny pulling engine).
If you spin the tranny around to make it mid-engine, then the five (six?) foward gears, would be come reverse gears.
The 911 engine spins the same directions as the Boxster engine.
The 911 trans spins the opposite direction of the Boxster trans.
We need the opposite of the 911 trans (see line 1), thus needing the Boxster trans.

Even going furthur. I've read that the Boxster and 911's have similar blocks, leading to similar transmission bolt-pattern. If the Kennedy adapter plate works for the 911 transmission, it should work for the Boxster trans without a problem.

Can anyone find a fault in my logic?
