I'm putting in a 327 chev into the old 914 and would like to upgrade the Axles and CV joints. I had some info on this but cannot locate it. I seem to remember using Bus axles and 930 CV joints, or was it all Buss axle/cv?
Can anybody come the the rescue? A friend with a 914 v8 went through many CV's and I want to do it right the first time. Gary S. 72 914 w/ Chalon kit 327 chev with converted 4 speed 901 and 73 sideshift |

Another axle option, not sure you guys may be aware of. Todd Francis at Precision Alloy Ltd. can modify standard stub shafts to make T2 CVs a bolt on deal. Fit a set of 33 spline SAW axles and you're good to go. The SAW axles are supposed to be a bit more "springy" than standard, providing a little more "give" for absorbing torque.
This isn't the lowest dollar solution, but it would get rid of adapters, provide a stronger readily available 100mm CV and a little more give in the axle dept. Todd did my 914 trans output stubs for about $100 - excellent work and delivered with a nice and new looking black oxide finish. I don't see why he couldn't do the same with the outboard stub axles.
