I've decided to keep my 5 speed 901 sideshift in my project plans for the big 3.2 transplant...I know...I have to notch the housing and it's going to blow up....anyways....
Now, I have an opportunity to get another 901 5 speed from a 1968 911 as a spare...or possibly a donor (as I have not yet pulled my original 901). Q: is there much difference in a 914 901 and a 911 901? Q: What is a (non refurbished) 911 901 worth in this scenario? Q: What parts do I need to make the 911/914 switch? I will be using 911 SC axles/cvs... Q: which cv/transmission flanges do I need? Don't be shy... lemme have it...both barrels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Cheers, Sean |

QUOTE Q: which cv/transmission flanges do I need? 1976-1977 915 coarse spline output flanges I would start with a 914 sideshifting 901. I would do the billet intermediate plate and make sure the bearing races in the trans are not loose in the case. Forget the early 911 trans. Get a couple 914 transmissions for parts. I ended up breaking 4th gear sets when doing track work with 914 transmissions on a stock 3.2. I believe that it is not the HP, but the torque that tears up transmissions. I know that on the street, the 901 should last pretty well unless you must do burnouts in 1st. just my $0.02 |
