Got a friend oop north who's in the process of adding a 911/01 in front of his 2.9 :silly: T4. Got any helpful hints regarding the 'box fitment as I fitted my 911/01 to a bare chassis.

Erm , strip everything off thats not needed, get the box on a jack and begin offering up... Work out where its fouling, trim/weld... offer up again, trim/weld as needed... Keep doing this until it fits. The box bolts to the frame horns just like a normal bug box, so we had a point to aim for.

Fitting the T4 engine was easy... We have around 90 hours of time tied up in fitting the box to the car though (2 of us).

Not to be taken lightly, its a lot of work!
