Last pic was right after putting car on road in stock configuration (appearance wise) with about 3 weeks worth of polishing stock wheels. A bad experience at high speed with skinny tires made me go for the wider Fuchs.

What did you have on there? 165's?

I think you would need more than 205's on the backs.. But It does look good. Do much racing? or is it a street/show car?

I have always loved your car John.

Yes, I was running 165s out of the barn with the v8 conversion. A 100+ mph pass around a 18 wheeler almost did me in last year and the reason for a rubber upgrade.

This is a street car. Not much racing activity in my area but I would like to try it. I do take every opportunity to street race but the teens nowadays are more into electronics than power upgrades.

The 350 is built to 400hp. Might step it up in the future but not without a transaxle upgrade. I feel I'm on borrowed time with the stock 901 but it has held its own to date.

John, where did you get the spacers for the rear brake? Were they custom made or off another porsche model? Is it as easy as just separating them, adding it..tightening it all back up or is there a trick to this?

Thanks,

Jim

East Coaster...

915 is apart.

Pinion bearing race in case is junk.. it will need to be done.. watch this thread for a short video.

Some good news... you can use stock 914 axles in your 915. They used a 901 diff in the 915 with course spline. Your options are limitless for axles and such.

Limited slip appears to be a stock 40% (wont know for sure until we pull the stack out and see if it is configured for stock 40%) We test this with a fixture using a torque wrench.

Most of the internals looks real good. I'lls send you a list of what it needs. First things first is to get the case machined for the largers bearings/races on the pinion and inout shaft.

Jim,

Rich Johnson performed all the brake work (they were ready to bolt on when received). I would think you need spacers, longer caliper bolts and possible new "clip" that holds disc pad.

Brad, Damn.....I was hoping everything was OK with this unit, but I'm not surprised. At least the internals are OK. It was supposedly "just rebuilt" by some west coast V8 conversion company. I figured when I bought it that if the LSD and internals were good it was worth what I paid. Plus it's got the oil cooler and pump.

So I can take a set of 901 flanges and bolt'em up and run my stock teener axles with the 914-6 stubs I already have.....Cool!

Looking forward to the progress pics! Oh yeah, do you have a clutch fork laying around, it didn't have one?

Thanks!!
