Hello,
So my situation is that I'm going up to Chico for school and want something with higher gearing. I have a 914 w/ a 350 putting out about 280hp/330tq. I was considering doing a 915 but it seems that it wouldn't be much of an upgrade to the 901. A 930 would be nice and I'v heard that the gearing is good for a v8. A G50 seems really expensive and really overkill. I would like to do as much of the work myself so that I can keep the cost down. So I would like to know what is entailed in doing the different transmissions, the issues with the different ones and what needs to change. Thanks. Paul '72 5.8 918 |

Hey Steve.
You really need to think this thru (with money in mind) Building a 901 with tall gears and billet plate will run you close to the same as installing a 915 and you know it wont last either. Nothing you do to a 901 will make it last behind a SBC (unless you dont drive it) The 915 is better only because it is marginally stronger and has a little taller ratio's. The 930 box is the end all. I'm doing a car right now and we will have 5500$ in it for the conversion. B |
