On the  other hand, more horsepower pretty much eliminates all Porshe boxes
except  the 930, which quickly gets you into the $5K, or one of the newer  six
speeds.  I chose the 930 and am very happy with it.  The six  speeds must be
run inverted, which is hard to do in a Corvair and maintain  reasonable
ground clearance.  


The 930 in Paul McCreery's LS1 Rear engined coupe is running in it's  regular 
position, as would one of the G50s. The G50 6-speed would make a fine  
conversion with the LS1 (or LS-7!!) in the back. In talking with Paul at  the 
Convention and glancing at parts of the installation, he mentioned that he  had used 
a Kennedy adapter to the 930 trans, but still wasn't quite pleased with  a 
few items, like shifter and clutch. Although quite a ways along, it is still a  
"work in progress". Beautiful car. - Seth Emerson
