surprisingly, Porsche transmissions line up really well with Chevy engines only needing a little conversion plate.
Why don't you try and find the specs on a GM fwd tranny out of a Bigblock RV, If I remember correctly these where used in most Corvair SB and BB chevy conversions. Ask around the hot rod corvair forums for the correct differential and trans.
