Seen audis with 5 speeds that look exactly like the irs bug tranny,, but you probably already known that. Even if it's a bit different, an electric conversion wouldn't care.

Can you install an irs in a swing axle chassis? I suppose you can, but I don't know for sure. I do know the suspension interchanges and an irs to swing axle should be possible.

If it were me, I would do the baja as electric since that is the easier/ cheaper option and shove the stroker into your super. Off the super to some ricer kid who just wants to go fast in a unique car.

That's me, YMMV
