Strong gearbox

Post by Blitzkrieg »

Will a Porsche 924/944 gearbox fit in an IRS Beetle??Or is it possible to build a strong Beetle gearbox using bits from these gearboxes, maybe even a 5 speed gearbox??I've read that the Porsche rear springplates are used in IRS applications...

944 an 924 used an audi box impossible to turn around
The swing arms can be used as they are essentially bug items
911 boxes can be used
