Hey all,
.
I'm sure that topic this must be covered somewhere on 914world, but I just couldn't find it.

What's the approx. cost to convert from tail to side shift? (1970 1.7).

I work a zillion hours, so don't have time to do it myself (or space). I would have to pay a shop to do it.

Thanks in advance!

You actually can do the swap without removing the engine, but it is hardly worth the extra effort.

I have taken out my trans rebuilt, and put back in without taking the engine out.
You could even pull the core out of the trans housing and swap all the parts if you are daring.

And I have removed the engine mount bar without removing the engine.
Just see what happens if you get the whole engine/trans in THEN try getting the side shift bar into the tunnel and you will learn how to do that yourself....
