The 901 would be your better choice. The 914 drivetrian is mid engine set-up. So, the trannys diff would have to be "flipped". Then there are two types of 914 trannys. A "tail shift" and "side shift" style. The tail shift would be easier to change. For that you would have to locate a 901 nose cone, or go with bugat5speed's conversion parts. The side shift model is not a good choice for conversions. A good note about the 914 tranny is if you choose a typeIV motor(which is basically the same as the 914) for your project the gearing is set for that engine type already
