Hi all, I'm in need of help from the collective knowlege of LCB
I want to use a Zetec SE engine in a new car I am planning from scratch.
The engine will be mid mounted behind the driver and I need a gearbox that is fairly short or has the drive output close to the engine to keep things
compact. So far I have found the Audi A4/Passat boxes but can anyone suggest another option or where I could get bellhousings or adaptors to
suit........
Thanks in advance.

Yes sorry longitudonal I should of made that clear.
A type 9 wouldnt work its way too long and still needs a diff,
any others??
hi what about alfa 75 not that i have any idea
Hewland?
I've got a Renault 21 turbo engine and UN1 in my mid engine gearbox. You need a transaxle from your description.
http://www.mambamotorsport.co.uk do a Duratec to VW/Audi transaxle adapter, not exactly what you are asking for but...
Audi has to be the weapon of choice these days, light and very strong + 6 speed options. You can get LSD's as well but expensive. Have a look at
GT40 forums. Ebay sells them new for not a lot relatively.
UN1's are well known and not just in old renualt 21/25, look for espaces etc.
Other option could be alfa boxes that sat in the rear axle with dedion suspension although a bit thin on the ground now.

At £1600 for the adapter package, you may as well go for the 20v turbo VAG engine attached to a passat gearbox!
