That would be a 901 trans? I believe these are no stronger than the
stock Type 2 trans you already have.

There is a van in NZ with 3.8 Holden V6, and someone wasted his time
& money fitting a 901 to it. If you want a Porsche trans, go for a
late-model (80s alloy-case) 915, or better, a 1987-89 G50. (15s are
strong but do wear in the bearings & syncros. The G50s don't and are
much stronger yet.
