Axle, 914 V8 Axle Upgrade Options

[vipergman]

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.

I thought it was ok to run the shorter axles, is Brad's info only applicable to racing?  :confused:

not good unless your shock travel for the street is about 1" or so and you're never ever going to hit a bump ...

brads quote:
"We have raced the cars for years without the spacers."

on a racecar, you don't see as much shock travel, plus the road surface on a track is usually less bumpy than the average CA highway ...

i wouldn't recommend to run a axle that is 1" too short on the street. for obvious reasons.

but hey, it's your car!
