OK, so I'm ready to install the engine and found a surprise. The PO was going to install a later model trans. As such, they installed 915 style stub axles. The oem stubs are lost in space.
The existing stubs don't bolt up to the 914/4 axles and CVs I was going to use. The 2.0/6 "S" spec motor puts out about 140hp. So I wasn't worried about twisting them with high torque since I used this set up with a 3.0 in the past. My questions is....are 914/6 AXLES which I might have access to, compatible with 915 sized CVs? FYI 914/6 CVs have been NLA for 20+ years.... Since I have the sub axles, can easily find drive flanges for the trans, I was thinking this would be an easy alternative. Does the 914/6 axle have the same spline count? 28 is what I've been told. Simply using a 911 axle won't work, too long. Buying 914/6 stub axles is an expensive deal, $5-600. Mittelmotor and Otto.... Some good news, I HAVE been able to locate one stub axle...it will need a little machining as it's a bit corroded. But I'm looking for alternatives. Anyone BTDT? Or even better....an orphan 914/6 stubbie? |

914-6 axles are splined differently from the 4's, I have both. There are some good threads on this forum about the possible conversions. Look in the Lapuwali Classics section.
I was going to use 930 flanges inboard (930 CV's are easy to find and not terribly expensive) and 911 cv's outboard on the 914-6 axles, but I haven't yet been able to find early 911 flanges either. I thought they would make a good addition to my 3.6L conversion. I have stock 914-6 stub axles already installed. Although, I've used stock 914-4 axles and cv's with this motor for years without a problem. |
