What is involved in running a 915 behind a V8. I know you either have to flip the ring and pinion or run the tranny up side down. Is that possible? What are the good options for shifting one?
What are decent used ones going for? How much will I have to throw at one to freshen it up? What gear ratios are available stock? What years should I look for? I need something that can handle a LS1 on steroids. |

Most people don't recommend the 915 with V8's. The torque capacity vs. a 901/914 isn't that much better. If you are making big power, you should just skip the 915 and go for a 930. The cost is probably about the same. There are a couple of 914 V8's in the Bay Area with Pantera transaxles. A nice choice but hard to find.
