901 whaddya know whaddya say Options

[woobn8r]

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)

I'm not saying that it will break the first time or the second, but with enough brutal launches, the trans will not last period. (just ask anyone that has been pushing these transmissions for 20+ years)

If you want to abuse a Porsche trans, buy a good one like a 930 box.

It will cost money, but it can handle a bunch of torque and HP.

Something that will reduce the stresses on a trans if you want to do ricer burnouts: skinny crappy tires with little grip.



Either that or get an American automatic transmission set up specifically for drag racing and 1000+ HP.

Porsches were never intended to go drag racing. More finesse and capable of doing more than going in a straight line.
