yah you guys are all pretty much right, i have a 283 in my 914 and i am always worrying about the transaxle. tq. will rip it apart even 300lbs of tq is too much. this swap would make an unbeatable car if the transaxle would hold, you can put transaxles out of 911 in the car but that costs lots of $$ and isnt an easy swap b/c it requires flipping the ring and pinion
