Can someone school me on axle shafts on a '70/6? Are they the same as the 911? Can I replace the CV's on my car or do I need to buy a complete axle shaft assembly.

The 914-6 axles are longer than 911 axles, but have the 911 spline-count. 914-6 CV's are the same diameter as 914-4 with a 911-splined inner race.

If you want to remain stock, a complete axle is a possibility, or you can use 914-4 CV's and an aftermarket, free-floating axle like SwayAway that's the right length and with 914-4 splines... which are the same as the 944 spline-count BTW.

Other's here will chime in with vendors and availability.

Good luck

What are the differences between -4 axle assemblies and -6's? For those doing a conversion from -4 to -6, can you just use the -4 axles (assume a low hp -6 engine)?
