transmissions - check the kit car sites where these are used a lot. the 986 5-speed is an audi 012 unit not good for much over 300 hp if that. the 6-speed units (either 986 or 987/997) can handle just about anything. go for a 987/997 unit if you can as they are lighter and shorter (resulting in better axle alignment and cv longevity).
for non-Porsche engines I think the subi is the best soln; there are long threads on both conversions on this forum and the Subaru seems to work the best. I think you could alleviate any of your space problems by cutting out the engine compartment and fabricating your own firewall back there. do that and I bet you could fit a Metzger engine in that thing - 450 hp 996 tt Porsche power!
