I've got a family of 4 and it sure would be nice to take them all when the need to drive a P-car comes up. I figgered a 912 would be a (reasonably) economical way to go. I could put in a hot /4 and away we go.
I see theres about 7 or 8 of em for sale in the recycler pretty cheap. I know, you get what you pay for. |

Let me stand corrected. 912's did come with 901s, which a 914 T4 WILL bolt up to, just some tin adjustment needs to be made.
My friends car has the odd-ball 4-speed transmission so thats why a 914 901 box (with the flipped R/P) is going into it. The 912E had a 923 transmission, it's a hybrid 915 with the 901 style inut shaft (so it works with the T4 Porsche 914 style flywheel. There. Tom |
