I have a 73 914 with a 450 hp v8 and have went through 3 transmission and am in the process of putting a 915 in it with a wevo side sift kit installed but I was told that I need to change the gears to work and was hoping that someone out there could help with the proper gears so I don't have to spend money learning which gears work.
thanks, Keith |

If a 915 has a vent at the top like a 901, your garage is gonna look a little sloppy flipping it over. I heard of running the tranny upside down, and one of the benefits is that most of the weight is now lower. Never did it, never saw it or whatever..
Oh, if you have a 915 with the later R/P 8.xx ratio instead of the 7.15 that will help (I think they changed to the taller ratio R/P in 74) |
