Why not? i don't know, i must be effraid of the scope of the project i guess... The fact is nowhere i found a real comprehensive, step by step, clear instruction of that transformation and the complete list of required matl.

In general, you always find hyper simplification of what a job like this needs in forums (here or somewhere else), web or books that I found (I am wondering about this one for a while and somehow gave up for now). Expression like "super easy", "in a snap", or the more gastronomic "piece of cake" are writen all over the place. I'd like to see things this way, but i don't, i must be kinda slow I guess.

I'm not saying that I will not do it one day, but not before I fully understand what the job means (if you know good ressource on the swing-IRS transformation, please let me and other like me know). I just don't want to end up with the insect guts spreaded all over the floor wondering how the f*** i can get it to work again...

Sorry if its off topic.

Anyone have a lead on a 1976 912E tranny? also known as a 923.

Yes, it was geared for use with a 4cyl. Its basically a 915 5spd with a 901 bellhousing. The 912E's were 5spd with a 4cyl motor.

So if anyone has a line on one, please let me know. Thanks
