My 75 is getting a normally aspirated 2.5L EJ25 motor and 5 speed tranny from a 2000 Subaru Legacy. I don't want big power, but a nice reliable motor with a modern feel. The motor had 165hp and 165 lb/ft torque when new and it isn't going to be modified for more power.

The Bremar Tranny Conversion kit is on order.

After looking at all the conversion threads I could find, I didnt' figure out what to do about the axles. What are the issues to understand, kinds of parts I need and ideas about ordering or modifying parts. Wise advice are much appreciated. Thanks

Photos of parts I do not understand (Thanks to original posters if you are here.):

These are called "flanges" or "944 Axle Stubs" I think.

Thanks very much Zaney. Your reply is MUCH appreciated.

The excellent explanation you pointed out:
-------- start explanation

The axle assemblies are just stock VW Bus axles... If you use the 944 [Typo here... 914 Right?...] stub axles the bus axles assemblies will just bolt in. If you want to retain the stock 914 stubs (or reuse your redrilled stuff) all you need to do is pop off the outer CV add a small ring spacer (I will make these for a few $) and slip it onto the bus axle.
-------- end explanation



Do I get this?

Parts needed:
914 outer CV's
Bus axles
Ring Spacers (no specific part, fabricated)

Directions:
Start with the VW Bus Axles. Remove outer Bus CV's and replace with 914 CV's. Add a small fabricated ring spacer. Bolt in place.

So VW Bus CV's fit on the Subaru Tranny or do I use Subaru CV's on the inside? If I can use Bus CV's and axles and 914 outer CV's, that is great news. Thanks again Zaney.
