Inverted 915 Project, No Description needed Options

[pcar916]

Hi Folks,
I'm returned after a brief hiatus with a question. Some of you remember I have Penelope, a 914/993 machine. I have decided to replace the 914 transaxle with an inverted 915. How many of you have done it and do you have stories? :-) My thinking is as follows...
1. Billet side plate. I've already paid the price several times for deflection. The 993 is not a huge hp machine, maybe 270hp with a bit less torque depending on the RPM/throttle.
2. Cable shifter (any suggestions that don't include making one myself.) It would be fun but might take longer than I want to wait.
3. Already have the turbo flanges/CV's to accommodate the deflection angle.
4. Oil cooler already installed whether I need it or not. Already addressed in the trans cooler thread from years ago.

Thought seriously about building a side shifter 915 with Bott's kit, but as good as it is, and it is. I don't want to take the gear-stack out every time I want to check the LSD plates/R&P.

I've gotten a replacement 993 engine while I jazz up her (tired) original engine, but since I haven't done one of these builds, I figured I'd ask this crowd about it because I'd rather drive her while I build the engine.
Glad to be back!
Ron
