So it looks like I have to get my SC engine rebuilt. But I'm definitely not on board with some of the estimates I've been getting, which are $20K+, so I'm exploring some other options. The car only has 98K miles, and to me, it's ludicrous to spend that much money on an engine rebuild with this kind of mileage.
Will the 915 transmission bolt up to an air-cooled VW engine, and if so, which "type"? I don't track the car, it's only driven on dry sunny days, usually on the weekends, so I'm more concerned about getting it back on the road as inexpensively as I can. Replacing the 3.0 with a 2275cc GEX turnkey engine is something I'm exploring, but one of the main concerns I have is whether or not the 915 trans will bolt up to a VW engine.
Any helpful comments would be appreciated...
