All you v8 conversion guys. I hear all sorts of opinions as to what breaks when you convert to v8 power. I would like some opinions:
1. Axles: I hear that these are the weakest link. Replacing them with 911 shafts seems to be the "fix"? 2. 901 transmissions. When they fail, what breaks? The case? Gears/shafts? 3. What level of hp/torque is the limit of a 901 setup. Thanks. Mike |

Thanks Mike. The Renegade site leads me to believe that installing the Boxter xmssn in the 914 is not a big deal...but that might just be my rose colored glasses. From what I have read, those xmssn's can take the hp and torque....and with a cable set up, shift nicely......any thoughts? Mike |

The main problem with putting it in a 914 it the starter location. It is close to the V8 location but I can't be sure. In my case it was a direct bolt on; no modifications required. |
