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 |

Ok, let me get this straight because all I have ever heard is that the 901 is good up to about 300 HP, anything more than that and it will grenade.
I figured that I was completely safe with the Suby conversion getting me in the ballpark of 170hp and 165 ft/lbs torque. Now after reading through this new doubts pop up. I have a freshly rebuilt 73 901 with all stock ratios and parts, no beefy intermediate plate yet. Is this a safe match? A burnout would be nice now and then, especially next to some punk ricer with a fart can and 150lbs of extra ground effects... hehe... Hate to hijack but its realative to the discussion at hand I think... |

Hate to hijack but its realative to the discussion at hand I think... It is my opinion that no 901 or 915 box is prepared to LAST when doing burnouts. Will they do it? Yes. Will they break? Yes. How long an abused trans will last depends on how abused it is. How wide/sticky are your tires, how much torque do you have ? A 901 box will last for some time when coupled with a stock 3.2. I know because I have done it. I think it will last on the street for even longer (I'm banking on that right now). Why do you think you want to do burnouts? I have always used the theory that 10% wheel slip is about the limit of adhesion for typical tires. (Braking, accelerating, cornering) I'm too cheap to waste my tire money on some silly demonstration of speed (that you can get a ticket for by the way). just my $0.02 |
