OK...I thought about putting this in the wanted thread (Apologies to the mods if this breaches rules, please delete if inappropriate)
Does anyone know where I can get an engine cradle for converting my 914 using the WRX engine and transmission? I know you can buy from a few sources and mod to suit but my fabrication skills are lacking and i'd need to pass an engineering check here in Aus. Any info/leads appreciated. |

True, however the 500$ (more for exchange rate) flanges, require the use of a 2004 or older transmission (ones with the stubs on the front). Or for 100$ more they sellouts the Subaru adapter to convert the later transmissions to the old style, however you have to open up the transmission to do it, which I know I'm not comfortable doing myself, so extra labor to install.
Where as my custom sway-a-way axles will be 375$ a set, usable with any of the 5mt's and the added bonus of being upgradeable. For example if you started out running an NA ej25 in a narrow body with 4 lug Fuchs and 914 cv's. Later you get bit by the HP bug and upgrade to a turbo ej25, just upgrade to 944 hub/stub/CV and your set. So basically less money and more versatile.. -Ian M |
