GT-Forty.com http://www.gt-forty.com/GT-Forty/Mounts.html This section will cover the mounting of the engine and Transaxle assembly. Since I’m using a non-standard transaxle there are some challenges in getting the driveline mounted where it will fit between the firewall and the back of the body. Given that the G50/03 once shortened is still 2 inches longer than the next longest transaxle - I find that I had to move the entire assembly toward the firewall. Not the end of the world and as you’ll see it actually makes for a little better overall install than if I had used the other recommended Porsche transaxles.
