I've been moving some of my sh.....er um parts cars around and scrapping some shi...uh rare race parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) lately and got to wondering if anyone has ever taken a 914 tranny flipped the R&P and installed it in a VW?? 5 speed gearbox that could handle a little more power (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Mounting wouldn't be too much of an issue, fab a cross bar for the front to mount to the VW frame horns and a cradle for the rear to mount to the stock location. Just a crazy idea that I haven't seen done, so I figure there is either a good reason or I just haven't run across one yet........ talk amongst yerselves (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chatsmiley.gif) Me go beddy bye, to many Killians make ums tired (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yellowsleep[1].gif)

If you allready have IRS beetle, 901 gearbox and porsche shifter assembly, i'd say you have to invest about 100$ for this conversion. It's really not that difficult. I did grind the original transmission brackets from my oval. It really is tight fit with t4 engine and if i remember right, i had only 3mm gap in front of the gearbox. If you are using rubbers then you really need more clearance.
