I was thinking about that. If the rear cradle is the same for auto or manual, then I might be able to use any cradle to build the trans mounts for the corvette. Might not even need a trans. Just need a way to locate the trans like it would be in the car and get the brackets made without disassembling the car I have for as long as?possible.?
Jeff, I just subscribed to your YouTube channel, I was watching I think the latest video and you mentioned you we're looking for a spare 928 transmission, are you in need if an Auto or Manual transmission?
Thanks for the referral,? I know it's going to be a controversial build. I hope I have the skills to pull it off.?
Jeff Evans?

He's going a different direction with his 928 build, and it'll be a good one to follow...

Honestly?I don't think it is any more controversial?than any other non-Porsche motor swap. I think it is super interesting and cool because it's a Ferrari motor which I think is a super cool idea. I cant wait to see more
From an eyeball and a tape measure,? I'm about 2 inches too proud for the current intake to fit under the hood. This one is about 9 inches tall so there's definitely room to shrink it down.
Jeff Evans
@jeff evans: Have you already measured out the expected clearance with the stock intake? I've been having conversations with Mike Benno and Ken about integrating these more modern intakes to a 928, so this is also of interest in your build.
Like I said on RL, I think this will be great.
Cheers,
Glenn

Do you know the miles?

Hello Nick,
?
I figure you may a good
person to pass this on to the PAC NW
928 guys.? I spoke to Wayne and he’s
OK for me to pass this on to the
group.??
?
Wayne is assisting the family
of the late owner.? I let him know if
further history and service
documentation are available it would
be good to have for potential buyers.?
The family wishes for the car to find
new owners to appreciate it as their
father did.
?
If there is someone else
you’d suggest I pass this info onto
let me know.
?
Best regards,
Rich
