110 to 140hp, 180 with a turbo, if I remember right. Mostly used in converted VWs but they can fit in a 914, reverse cam or flip the ring gear in the trans.

hmmm...rotates the wrong way...bolt up a stock 915 tranny to it!
Both these are a bad idea.
Flipping the ring gear or using a stock 911 tranny (either 901 or 915) will spin the transmission backwards and shorten the life of the transmission. This is because our transmissions use helical cut gears, as as they engage, they put some thrust on the shafts. The thrust is taken against a thrust bearing. When you spin the transmission backwards, you reverse the thrust and place it against a surface without a thrust bearing, thus causing excessive transmission wear. You also make it harder to shift... the syncros were designed to work in one direction, and you are spinning them in the other direction.
