I picked up a cheap sand rail last weekend on a whim. Needed an engine and other general work, and I finally was able to get around to inspecting it better last night. It needs more work than I initially thought, so now I'm considering putting my old BEW back together and setting it up to run with that instead. The 113 gearbox is nearly corroded through in some spots, and the left side frame horn is roughly 60% there at this point. With the fab work needed, I figure it would make sense to do ALL of the work now instead of doing it again later like I was initially planning. Trying to decide on a transmission to go with though. I'll need to convert to IRS as is, so I was trying to decide on a slightly more modern box that could handle some modified TDI power but I'm coming up blank other than 996/997 6mt boxes. Any other gearbox suggestions? Bonus points if they'll bolt up without much trouble lol.
