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 you are thinking the manual transaxle, then there are some issues you ought to perhaps consider. Unless you get an 016 3U model (which was never available in the US), then the ratios are not very well matched to a V8. This transaxle is not the answer to high HP V8's. It's internals are a click below those of the 951 internals, as Porsche implemented some subtle but significant strengthening to it (even though both are considered the model 016). They top out at about 400HP if driven gently. There's lots of discussion on the GT40 replica forum in this regard. If you're thinking automatic, then non of the above applies. Andy |
