I am currently sorting out a 914/6 conversion which I bought and eventually hope to run about 250 RWHP in. One of the last items I need to tackle is the rear 5 lug conversion and am looking to put a set of correctly drilled 914 rear hubs on. However I have been told that the 914 driveshafts will be problematic with 250 HP. Would I be better off using an early (69 - 73) 911 setup of driveshafts, stub axles and hubs with an adaptor to mate the driveshafts to the 914 box? Would this be a stronger setup and is it possible to mate up with an adaptor?

The shafts are not really any stronger, just shorter. Renegade makes adapters and PP sells them too. There are guys running V8's with more than 250 HP running stock axles and CV's. Its all in how much you want to spend. If you want to use adapters, try using Bus axles with the adapters. Much stronger than 914's.
