I finished my sideshift conversion on my 1972 1.7 street/AX 914 almost a month ago, and did about 18 AX runs with it this weekend. What an amazing difference! I did more than merely swap crusty transmissions and linkages, but more on that later. I ask so many questions on other threads, this one is pics and stuff I learned along the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
And thank yous to all who contributed, which is a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And here is a SWEET photo I just found on ground-speed.com, who are awesome and I will probably buy a big print of this one!

Success! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
The engine "drop" went OK. I was bummed to find out that while I was yanking the engine out on its cart with the CV and axle on top, the spark plug wire broke off its connector to the distributor cap, and would soon find a fuel injector wire broken off of its connector (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I LATER read that a bungee cord between the fuel rails helps keep them from snaggin - I did that on the install (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)
