However, there's one 818 comment unanswered that I thought obvious, so...



It was about the only consistent source of donor FWD(-ish) drivetrains with a manual gearbox.

I agree the 4cyl EcoBoost engine was a neat install. Did they ever specify what transmission they sourced for that?
I also just realized the 818 isnt available to place an order on either, so its gone the way of the GTM?

They did use the same trans from the Subaru in that swap (In the snap on video they mention it briefly). There are lots of FWD vehicles that have a transverse mounted engine/trans that would have potentially worked in that combination, or the 01e transaxle from the audi/vw family tends to have tons of aftermarket support for mounting options.
