www.911pcar.com Who's dealt with them before? I'm looking for a transaxle for my V8 914 and am considering a 930 or G50/52 (yah I know - it doesn't fit easily but I would really prefer a trans with decent shifting). They seem to have prices that are a little too good to believe. They don't list current inventory, but supposedly what they've sold in the past. $3500 for a G50/52 with 14K miles, $2000 for a 930 with 34K miles.
Actually, their website is very confusing and I just noticed that all of the items with prices are listed under "SOLD". Of course, a bunch of the lisitings under "SOLD" ask you to call for the price, which makes no sense. BTW, what's the deal with using a G50 in a mid engine car. Do they have to be run upside down, like in an Ultima? Or can the R&P be moved to the other side? I suppose I could go with a dry sump system to get the engine lower (which would make more room for the fuel injection on the top) but would rather not. Jonathan |

The Ultima guy assembles race cars and Ultima's. He doesnt do anything special with tranny's as far as I know.

A few people post on the Por-chev site that claim to have the Pantera gearbox in there 914-V8. Most claim that cost for the box is $6500. I believe that is a used price.
I have read many differing opinions on the 901,915, 930 and G50 gerbox in the 914-V8. Sounds to me that this is the weak link in the converion. I would want to run which ever box has the reputantion from actual use in other cars of being the "bulletproof" setup. The 901 box can be had fairly inexspensively and you could beef those up and throw them at your V8 conversion all month long for what one Pantera box will cost you, plus a rebuild. The 915 has gotten some very good press from 914 V8 owners. I have not read to much about the G-50 or Turbo box being used. It seems to me that one thing I have read is that first gear is not used in the five speed boxes. So,that would make me think that the Turbo four speed box would be the optimum box to use. Rebuild and drive. CCLINSHIFTINGGEARS |

The 915 does not work well in my book unless you spend big money on custom ratios. I have also seen 3-4 people break them after 2-3 years of use behind a V8. I have never seen anyone break a 930 box in a V8 config. The factory used the 930 box in 24hour leman racing putting 900+ HP thru them.. the weak link back then was the CV joints.
Side by side cost comparison between a ZF and a 930 box.. I bet the ZF Pantera box is the way to go. You elminate starter/ring gear issues/you elminate clutch issues.. and the linkage would be easier to fab. I like it. B |
