Figured you guys would be interested in this over here.
i am in the process of getting an sfi steel bellhousing made to mate a ford t5 tranny up to vw/audi engines so you may go 100% rwd. Aaron (speeding-g60) has been gracious enough to help me along in getting this done. As he has donated the block and the bell housing to get sent to the shop building the bell.
it will be a complete bell housing--not an adapter plate--

The company doing the work is quicktime performance products http://www.quicktimeinc.com
here is what they were sent---
at first, i had sent them an 020 vw tranny case for the bolt pattern. seeing how that is fwd, i could imagine how much of a cluster fuck it may be for them to work with. At the same time, Aaron and i were posting about rwd shit over on vwsport. basically brainstorming between the two of us go us this far. the following stuff was sent as a result to help quicktime out in building these bell hosuings--
complete end of an engine (last cylinder/crank cut off)

early 90 audi 90 tranny bell hosuing---

stock vw flexplate so they have diameter dimensions of the clutch setup so they know to stay within spec to fit inside the bell
Here is what we need help with
i need to tap into all of you audi nuts data bank to know exactly what all the stock audi 90 tranny bolts up to. as you see in the above bell housing pic-- the ones that were marked in white fit 4cylinder. the lines in red fit v6. Now what about v8? inline 5? Does the later model v8 bolt pattern differ from early? same thing goes for v6 engines.
In addition, it is my understanding this will fit vr6 provided you use the oem adapter plate. correct?
basically i/we need to figure out what all will fit. the reason we chose to use the audi 90 bell bolt pattern was simply because it is transverse nature coupled with its multi bolt pattern. if we can get one bell made that fits a shit ton of engines--everyone wins. company only has to make one bell for our cars, and we get a bell that fits everything.
As for when these will be ready to go-- Ross from quicktime has said once he gets everything in his shop, "4-5 weeks if it is straight forward and we have all of the information necessary. Possibly faster if it is straight forward."
being the last of the items are shipping out now, i think it is safe to assume he will not get on the work until after the holiday/1st of the year. pricing i would think is going to be similiar to their domestic offerings.
thanks for the help
