Why no just take a standard 915-930 tranny and flip it up side down? This should take the hassels out of flipping the ring gear, you would have to come up with pump and a shift linkage though?

From what I have seen it’s a toss up between the Pantera ZF and the Porsche 930, in terms of power handling ability and cost. To have a 930 gearbox modified to work in a 914 ready to install will run you about 9,000 including the cost of the gearbox and you only get 4 gears. The Pantera needs no internal modification to be used in a 914, just need to purchase bell housing to mate to desired motor, and you will have 5 gears for 9,000. My choice was the Pantera ZF.
