Only "some"? What other gearbox do you think early 911s had?
In fact, all 71 and earlier 911s and 912s came with a 901 gearbox. If you are going to install a 901 into a VW, the 914 is not a good start. The side shift 914 gearboxes require a bunch of parts from a 911 gearbox to make it tail shift, so why not start with a 911 version to begin with?
LSDs for 901 gearboxes are quite rare and very expensive. If your project requires a LSD, a stock Thing ZF is the one to get. If that is the route you choose, and you need 5 gears, the Berg 5 conversion of an existing 73 or 74 Thing gearbox will produce a great gearbox.
