Yo Brad,

So now I gotta go and get me one of them dyno'ed 3.6 variowhatchacallits for my 914. Will the 914 tranny with LSD and Intermediate plate that you built for me handle a 3.6?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) stock 901 gearing sucks, but, the gearing can be changed ...

LSD is NICE ! (haha, never thought i would say that ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) )

gotta get myself one of them limited schlipps too ...

Andy's doing the 3.6 <-> 901 thing. Let him blow his up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif) Or buy a cheapie donor 901 and see how long that lasts. That should be a decent indicator of what your nice tranny can do. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I took the teeth off a 901 ring gear at 290hp. Pulling out of T 13 @ TH. 901 is VERY marginal at that HP.

3.6 envy....I have it cuz I want one in my 914!..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Patrick, I don't know how long a 901 will last, but the torque of a 993 can't be all that good. If its street use...maybe it will last. If it's track...especially autox humping...my opinion is no.

What's your timeline for getting one mated to a 3.6? The reason I ask is believe it or not I have ANOTHER flipped ring and pinion 915 with an open diff sitting on my parts shelf at home...my sickness with The Beast was such that I was thinking of having a spare 915 box to swap into the car since the 3.6 has a tendency to eat even 915's with track use. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I may be persuaded to part with it..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Of course...I was saving it for that rainy 3.6 day.....

or maybe SirAndy would like dibs on it?
