So I'm in process of collecting parts and info for my 914 restomod. Going with a sbf with boxster s 6 speed and 911 suspension/brakes.
One of the details I'm trying to sort out is the church actuation for the boxster s gear box. Anyone have a good source for what pedal cluster and hydraulic bits work best? I will be using a manual throttle cable.

Either go with a tilton/wilwood floor mount or modify your existing system with a hydraulic clutch. Someone makes a bracket for mounting a master through the body but its not that complicated.

Here is a link to my build....

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...9084&st=120

That page has how I put a clutch master cylinder on the factory 914 pedal box. There is a later page that has the mod that makes it more reliable.

I looked at that.. too much modification to the floorpan to make it work.

Nice! Boxster slave and master cylinders?


I built it with a 964 master and a Cayman slave. There is no way to mount a Cayman master on the 914 pedal box.

Now it has a Cayman slave, and a Wilwood Master. The Wilwood master was necessary to get the correct bore size to match the Cayman slave. The reservoir is from a 924S.

1991. But it doesn't match the Cayman slave cylinder. So it won't disengage the clutch.

Absolutely!

We don't see sbf swaps because they are huge and don't fit. You might want to test fit before committing to the pricey adapter kit.

Not true. 302 ford with coil on plug and remote mount water pump is shorter than ls....the ls conversions move the transmission back...to clear the fire wall....which is what I'm going to do. Additionally I'm moving the mount for the rear trailing arm back to achieve appropriate cv angle of operation....

@tygaboy
Actually it looks like a remote water pump and distributor less ignition should squeeze in OK.
I just want to get to drive a Pord (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
