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.

I used the 914-4 axles and CV's for several years with a 2.7L engine. Those axles worked with both the 914-4 and 914-6 stub axles in the trailing-arms.

If/when you convert to 5-lug in the rear, to stick with 914 running gear you'll have to get 914-6 stub axles in the trailing arms. Then both 4 and 6 axles/CV's are fine.

Frankly, it's often no more expensive to go with larger 100mm CV's and 911 output flange/stub-axle by the time you pay for 914-6 stub axles. There are several good links here on that mod. I ran the 914 gear even with my 3.6 until the CV's wore out. Then converted to 944 CV's on modified 914-4 axles.

All of that might be beyond your scope but it's all documented on this site, whichever option you choose.
