Have asked QuickTime to produce these for retail distribution. They hold many of the production patents.

Rm-4082 engine face to RM-6033 transmission face.

Will let you guys know what the response is.

I was just thinking about checking to see if there had been an update for this thread yet. That quicktime idea seems perfect, hope they come back with a positive response!

Worst case is make an adapter plate for the RM-4082 bellhousing for the torque tube connection. I wonder what the depth of that adapter is?

Dimensions are over to Holley/Quicktime... have been exchanging emails with their front end team to have a first prototype generated. Hopefully more details soon as I'd like to drive this thing and also get the space in my garage back this year. It would also be nice to have another swap option within the family for all these cars that are losing or have lost engines.

Hello sir, I just wanted to say I've enjoyed this thread immensely.

As someone who comes from the MKIII and MKIV VW world it's nice to see engines I'm familiar with be mentioned and even used.

Really looking forward to this bellhousing solution.

Motor werks racing is also working on a complete DIY swap kit, but I can't get a release date or price from them yet. Starting to wonder if it's worth the wait or if I should just go the custom route.

I think they removed that language from their website. I wonder if they are only going to build complete cars. I haven't gotten any response to my inquiries.
