I have someone looking to buy my two 901 trannys for his project vehicle. He has two different engines he's trying to decide between to use. Both are `67 blocks, one from a Bug and one from a Bus. The question is whether a 901 trans will work with either of these blocks?

Thanks,

Either one will bolt right on to the transmission. Dimitri

What kind of project vehicle? Just make sure it faces/turns the right direction so you don't have 5 speeds in reverse.

Depends if it a 901 or a 914/12 coded tranny. A 901 with the shifter lever out the back is from a 911/912 which needs a rear engined setup.
A 914/11 or 914/12 is for a mid-engine set up cuz they flipped the diff so you have 5 speeds forwards.

The 901 with the rear shifter works best in a bug conversion set up

Don't know for sure what his project vehicle is but it is rear engine. So he would be taking the parts from the 914 sideshift trans to complete the 911/01 trans and install it in his car. He just didn't know if the 901's and Bug and Bus blocks would be compatible.

Thanks for the info! This will mean a few more dollars for my autocross Roadster project!
