What are the V8 guys using. I know a guy locally who runs a Hewland 5 sp. What does everyone else run?
And do you guys all align your engines laterally? |

transmissions I've seen used on V8's: stock 914 transmission modified 914 transmission (billet inter. plate, H gear) 915 (ring/pinion flipped) 930 (ring/pinion flipped or can be run upside down) ZF box from a Pantera Boxster (seen pictures, he's here on the list)
huh?? centerline of crank is the same, of the 901 converions, transmission moved back 1.5" from stock...not sure about the other ones...I'd imagine the same for the P-car type transmissions |

Yeah I was just wondering if everyone stuck the V8 in laterally or transversally aligned. I didn't know. Tell me about the Pantera and the renault. |

Other than real Porsche transmissions - Audi (the 5000 ones are strong), boxster (audi trans in disguise) Subaru? VW bus would work but everyone thinks they must have a 5 speed for some reason, ZF and a variety of real racing transaxles that all cost $$$$

have you not ever read anyones post about V8's and see pictures?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) one person has put a drivetrain in "sideways", major cutting needed and not practical in my opinion...kinda like a fat dude wearing a thong, just cause it fits don't mean it's right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) ZF tranny, rumor of one guy finding his for like $500, normally sell for $4K or something crazy like that to the Pantara guys....then it needs rebuilding......Renault, got to go to europe to get one, same with parts for it...not a practicle solution |

right off the bat, that has to tell you it's a $15K to $20K transmission, and that would be without the needed options to bolt it up to your motor....... |

NOPE,
A six speed ZF is 14K my price. To rebuild a 5 speed pantera box to like new condition is 7K. This assumes you already own one and that is the core. Oh yeah.. And there is only ONE place, world wide, for the OE parts. Cmon... Ask me how I know. Twystd1 |
