914 V8, 351 to Porsche tranny Options

[Teknon]

Is there an adapter to go from a Ford 351C to a Porsche transmission?? I have searched around some and can't seem to find one. All are for a Chevy so far.

Wow this thread has changed to transaxle wars, watch out or will be banned like religion and politics topics... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I've been researching mid-price ($3-4k), mid-range (300-400hp) transaxles used successfully for mid-engine replicars and race cars. There are cheaper options to the ZF and 930 but each has it's drawbacks in terms of availability, parts and service support. Additionally they'd have to be a significant improvement to the 901 which seems to hold up to 300 and up to 400hp if in good working or rebuilt condition and well respected. One of these days I'll post the data.

For those who want to push the car, the 930 makes the most sense until a performance transaxle supplier (i.e. Mendeola) markets a street version for under $10k. Rebuilt RBT ZF's are strong but like the 914, they are "vintage" engineering. The two local guys running ZFs have them because they got them "cheap" many years ago. If you can find one for under $6k that's considered a bargain these days...
