V12 - porshe G50

[sssmiles]

Im wanting to fit a BMW or mercedes v12 engine to my porsche G50(long type) gearbox. my questions are

1. Do these engines rotate in the same direction as the gearbox?
2. Not wanting to spend more than £1500 on a second hand engine which is best?
3. What is involved in matching the v12 and G50 shaft together?

any other info or contribution is gratfully appreciated

many many thanks

I dont understand why the box has to be inverted...is it to do with the large protruded section of the box sticking out in contact with the ground??
With regard to the engine i believe the 87-95year v12 gave 300bhp(4988cc) 94-02 326bhp(5379cc) and 02 onwards 438bhp(5972cc) on looking for your engine v12 andy did you get any prices on the 02 onwards motors??
Reading the engine management threds i am sure i will go with the DTA’s could you please forward me details of your v12-G50 adapter contact many many thanks

I think that if the box isn't inverted then the car will have 6 reverse gears and one forwards one when its mid rather than rear mounted.
