Rob,

Since I have driven a subaru powered bug with 2.2 vs your 2.5 lt, I can atest that the 914 gearbox, is nicely geared for your car.

The conversion utilizing this box is not that difficult, and can accommodate a Quaife or other LSD.

The rebuild is not that difficult either.. and can handle more power if you decide to put cams, piggy-back ecu and some porting to get about 190-200 HP..

Also you can fab your own conversion, use some of our parts to help, or utilize the entire kit, and take a lot of the guess work out.

Also the our kit, (just a data point) moves the gearbox slightly fwd, and enables good clearance out back for the motor..

Food for thougth
Alex
