another rear 5-lug topic Options

[GrayMatter]

I'm back and making progress again! =)

So after reading countless threads ranging from a few years old to almost 20 years old and so many different recommended parts (some NLA or extremely expensive or rare now at this point) and being more confused now than ever, I'm looking for an updated recommendation. I'm not concerned about loss of stock e-brake or having to install 911 e-brake or other solutions.

Thanks to @michael7810 and @ValcoOscar for transport, I now have a functional 914 tail shifter trans in my car. Thanks to another friend, I also have a complete '86 911 front end in my car as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And before anyone asks, my 5-lug and big brake upgrades are primarily for aesthetic purposes.

I'm hoping for my pie in the sky dream that I can find something that I can use with my 914 transmission while I save for a 915 or better trans if that's possible.

Is there any chance of readily available parts (911,944,etc?) that can use the Swayaway 911/930 custom axles and not require any custom machining to upgrade to 5 lug rear end with my existing 914 trans and allow easy transition to a 915 or newer trans down the road?

If you have a big six engine, 220hp +, a 915 becomes a consideration but not a must have. If you have a 4 cylinder engine or anything less than a 200hp six, the 915 trans isn't just a $10K waste of money it will actually underperform your current trans. What you probably want is a 914 side shifter trans.

*If there is a 3.6 hiding in that car, then the 915 is appropriate but to do it right, it's usually around 7-10K.

Is the white car yours? Just wondering since it's already 5 lug.
