What engine? What transmission?


I run a bone stock 901 behind a 3.6L engine. The only adapter needed is a cut ring gear for the flywheel.

LS1 to Audi 01E 6 speed. Though there are now a couple of people making adapter plates, there were none when I did mine. I have a vertical mill that I used to drill the hole pattern and the dowel pattern. I farmed-out the water jet, Blanchard grinding, and zinc plating work. The design work was done using Solidworks 3D modeling. The bigger problem is arranging the flywheel and clutch/pressure plate and how they stack up to work within the bellhousing (getting all the axial dimensions correct). Over-simplified description, but ask if you need more info.

You run a bone stock 914 transmission.
A 901 won't work in your car.

Sure it will! Of course, the shift linkage will be "interesting", and you'll have five speeds in reverse...

(Since we're getting nit-picky... )

Bone stock.....

I did mine. "T" square, digital caliper, bench top drill press, jig saw and a router.

Porsche 928 to 901.

Soon as the Cap,n stops showing off everything goes to shit again, slang and jargon will be tossed around, more Internet myths will blossom, and all of it will fall apart into a big pile of garbage.

Sorry, with Pat retiring and the Cap'n spending less time correcting everyone, what are we gonna do.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

You are not going to get anymore minimalistic than that setup!

The majority of people buy an adapter and flywheel from Kennedy Engineering or one of the handful of kit manufactures like Renegade.

If you have to ask how to do it, pass and buy a kit. Rick didn't ask...he went outside, took measurements and started to make chips.


Back to the question.... not Porsche, but I've made a Volvo engine to Chevy auto adapter and I am currently making these adapters....Volvo FWD 5 and 6 cylinder motors to be used with a Ford T5 Mustang transmission....still not sure what motor I want in my '73 914 that will need the bus motor replaced....however if I do some oddball conversion I'll make my own stuff.

Bridgeport mill (CNC) and all the related stuff one has in a small machine/fabrication shop.

What is the point of this adapter?
Not knocking it, just curious seeing as I have an old p1800 wagon in the back.
I already have a mint one.....have been wondering how to modernize the other one.

Volvo Whiteblock front wheel drive motor for a rear wheel drive applications...S70 motor in a 245 or 122...

Ring gear, you need a lathe. And it's a 914-901

Posted by: got914? Jan 16 2015, 02:45 PM

I was thinking an srt4 motor to a boxster s 6 speed.
srt4 motor is 220 hp and 250 torque with lots of aftermarket
ive already got the engine from my pt cruiser gt turbo
kennedy only makes an adapter for 901 & 915.

Posted by: r_towle Jan 16 2015, 02:46 PM

would it work on the V8 motor from the volvo SUV too?
Thinking about a turbo V8 p1800 wagon.....

Rich
The v8 is a Yamaha engine and I think is different from volvos white motors. I've converted several b20 cars to the b230ft. They go like hell. Contact me if you want more info, it's a great swap using a time proven engine. You'd wanna go to at least an m46 trans. I tore up 6 m41s with my first swap.
Best, Erik

I'd be interested in one of those volvo adapters?

Posted by: Mark Henry Oct 15 2016, 09:06 AM

The OP never got his project off the ground, he bought a subi /6 core, but he's been trying to sell both the 914 and the engine for the last several months on Kijiji (like craigslist).

I would also like a Volvo adapter if your going into a small production. Volvo adapter group buy?

Posted by: Mueller Oct 15 2016, 10:23 AM
