I am about to install my 3.2 engine and it is being paired with the 901. I was wondering if the 901 need to be regeared or use heavier gears for this application or is the standard gearing fine?
Any other things that should be considered? It will be for street only. |

Here's a pict of the car car mounting. I went the slightly more expensive route and bought a complete setup from Jim Patrick in Phoenix as I wanted to get in in before a race in Tacate MX in August. The air inlet is at the front of the right rear flare. You do have to drill and tap a pair (at least) holes on the top of the gear box, one over the gear stack and one over the R&P so there will be lots of oil splashing on those hot parts.
Patrick also sells a plug that goes into the speedo drive holes and a temp gauge so you can keep an eye on things as we all know anyone with a hot rodder 914 does not pay attention to the speedo anyways! This also let you run a full 4 quarts of trans fluid instead of the factory amount. Attached image(s) |
