914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ FS: Side shifter, for V8, from Dr. Evil
Posted by: tomrev Dec 4 2016, 01:39 PM
I had Mike (Dr. Evil) build me a long gear box, when I built my Chevy powered 914. After very limited miles, I changed to a honda engine, and went back to a standard gearing box, so have a very nice, long gear V8 box for sale. Mike put in all new main trans bearings, (retain $1100.) and new gears on the top. It is: F.O.X.H., with 1st blocked off.
F= 1.89 O=1.22 X=.86 H= .59 Even with my short 205/45/16's the rev's at 70 are 2700, and at 80 are 3,000. Renegade sells this type box for around $3,000. so anyone building a CSB, or other high powered 914 can save some $$. I have less than 300 street miles on the box, and we all know Mike's quality of work. Box will ship via Fedex, in a Rubbermaid tub. (or pick up is fine). Tom, 231-946-0724 tomandgretch@charter.net Price: $1995.

This is a great deal, very similar to what I had Mike build for me and great on the freeway.

Thanks! Hopefully, she will be powering another 914 soon. I can send a few other view photos to interested folks.

To clarify, shipping costs not included in the price; but it should cost under $100. anywhere in the lower 48. Thanks

Be careful about shipping in a Rubbermaid tub. I used to do it. I insured the trans for $1,500 and FedEx refused the claim. They said it wasn't packed properly. Not that more peanuts would have helped prevent the damage from them running into it with a forklift. Now I only strap to a pallet.

I add a skin of plywood inside; know what you mean, but FedEx won't ship un-boxed stuff anymore, and a truck/frieght place is too much $$$.

I add a skin of plywood inside- as you can see, so did I. Didn't help against the forklift. FedEx insurance is worthless if they are damaging the item and then denying the claim.
