I know someone that could make you that intermediate shaft. But I'll bet it would cost as much as you paid for the transaxle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

For anyone that is thinking about putting an LS motor and 915 trans into their 914, Renegade makes all of the neccessary parts. They also can adapt an SBC to the same transmission. That's what I'm doing to upgrade from my 901 trans.

They also have the right parts for using either motor with a 901 setup. They also have a suby conversion kit.

If I were starting over I'd be using the newly released Factory Five Racing transaxle.

Does this engine fit without cutting the rear firewall? Are the physical dimensions of the LS2 the same as the LS1? Jim jdorociak@gmail.com

Walt,

I've been loosely monitoring the FF site for Mendeola info. Apparently they (Mendeola) are yet to receive ring and pinions from their supplier after which they'll assemble and ship (?) to FF. Do any of those guys on the FF GTM forum have any feedback on the transaxle (or have any even been installed yet)?

There was an LS1 conversion at Jake's Aircooled Invasion. The firewall was not cut. He did have a bunch of the trunk cut out, but I think taht was because he has it braced up and tracks the car. He reversed the intake so it was facing the rear.

I think he is a member, but does not post much. The exhaust looked really nice, and e had a cool diffuser on the rear that he modeled after a DTM stype diffuser.

The muffler is a small flowmaster right above the sticker. and the pipes come together at the center rear and exit like a boxster.

Rear diffuser and exhaust exit:

The funny part was as we were talking, he mentioned the rockers must have been repainted black, as a few chipped spots show orange. The car is a '74 and the VIN ends with 15028. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I liked the diffuser. bHe said taht he only has seat of the pants feedback, but felt the car stuck better in the rear with it on.

The engine can be installed forward enough to avoid modding the rear firewall - except for the intake.
I think LS1 and LS2 are the same dimensions except for ancillary components.

Nothing real recent, but here's my trunk wall cut out. My intake is similar to Chris' white car (I actually copied his idea).

Jerry,

Where did you mount your PCM? Clean install!

You guys are incredible. Unbelieveable this can be done. The 914 is the perfect race car and accepts like 8 different engines and several transaxles. What other car can do this.

Andy,
I mounted the PCM in in the left front corner of the engine compartment. Had the harness made to fit with the manifold reversed and the PCM in this location.

Bump'n an old thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks like the LS1 would fit a tad better with ITB's?

Yes, no?

Seems like the intake is the fitment issue?

The manifold fit isn't too much work, ITB's are OK on a race car, but horrible to get working for a street car that pot's around at part throttle most of the time.
