Rear 5-Lug with 944 Parts, PART II, update & pics ... Options

[SirAndy]

so it looks like there's going to be some minor machining required after all.

turns out, the 944 Turbo CVs are 4mm thicker than the 914 CVs which means the 914 axle shaft has to be machined down a bit for them to fit.

see pictures below ...

3 - 4 mm needs to be removed from the 914 shaft to accomodate the 944 CV

944 Shaft, dia. = 26mm, length = 540mm

914 CV, dia. = 94mm, width = 31mm

Those CV's are still smaller than the early 911 CV's

Ok. I dont remember how much the splined center of 911/T2 CV was wider than 914 CV, but the difference is not big compared to 944 CVs (4 mm). So, this same concepts works with 911/T2 CVs too, right ??

with a V8 teener, you *WILL* break the 901 anyways, just a matter of time ...

If we could have and drive legally V8 teeners here, I am sure I would build one. Then I would consider very carefully using Renault UN1 transmission. They sell conversion bellhousings for SBCs, SBFs and Buick/Rover V8s. The tranny can handle 400 bhp. LINK
