I'm thinking about doing a V8 conversion, and I'm looking at picking up a 915 transimssion. The guy that's selling it says that you can run the tranny upside down, rather than flipping the R&P. He says that it offers more ground clearance, and you don't have to mess with the speedo drive. Is this true? I don't think I've ever heard about this before. Also, what is a good price for a 915 tranny in unknown condition? How much would it cost to rebuild? Sorry, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to transmissions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Mueller, I'm actually talking about the kit and 915 from the classifieds. And, the more I think about it, the more I think it isn't quite what I want. Sounds like the 915 would be pretty expensive to make work, and isn't geared right. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Also, the kit is a Rod Simpson Kit, which I've heard isn't as good. There's no rad included, either. It's probably still a good deal, but I don't think I can afford it right now, and shipping would be pretty steep.
Any other thoughts on this? Is the 915 good for a V8 conversion? |
