I have a 73 914 with a 450 hp v8 and have went through 3 transmission and am in the process of putting a 915 in it with a wevo side sift kit installed but I was told that I need to change the gears to work and was hoping that someone out there could help with the proper gears so I don't have to spend money learning which gears work.
thanks, Keith |

My friend retrofited it to his old audi drag car and it handles about 350hp with lots of drag lauches. He's been launching it with a new, and larger, turbo with more boost and its been fine. How about the manuals out of the newer mustangs. My friends uncle has one that puts 450hp onto the pavement, and he doesn't hesitate to drag. It hasn't broken yet. Lastly, the same guy has a '74 Pantera with a totally rebuilt and bored out 351C. He doesn't baby his tranny and it hasn't blown up yet (I don't know if it has been beefed up though. I know the mustang tranny hasn't). |
