Will a porsche 901 fit with no mods to a stock type 1 engine?
I have aquired through ebay, a freshly rebuilt 901 transmission.
I have no problem with the install. However I need to know if the bolt pattern on the 901 is a direct bolt up to a type 1 engine. The Reason is I need to give the criteria to kennedy engineering for an adpater plate for my rotary conversion. I am also getting the CV joints from this carrera, basically everything from the shifter to the wheels. What exactly will I need to get to adapt it to my 1971 beetle pan? Remember I will be running 200HP in this setup. Feel free to eamil me. ydeardorff@hotmail.com |

You will need a 914 strater, and follow the tech article on the germanlook home page. I do not know what flywheel/clutch/pressure plate you will need to adapt for you application. Kennedy should be able to fix you up. The bolt pattern for the 901 is the same as the T-1. I would tell them you are putting it in a 914 just to make it simple.

The reccomendations so far that I have heard is to get a 6v starter and run it on 12v's as that is the only way to spin the mazda rotary engine fast enough to start it. |

I understand about the flywheel and clutch,..
the clutch and flywheel come with the kennedy adapter kit,...What i really need is the info on how to connect the tranny to the wheels, using apropriate parts for a 200 HP engine that will straped to the tranny. This tranny is a freshly rebuilt 901 straight out of a wrecked 1965 carrera.
any help on what to grab at the junk yard would be great!!!!!!! you can email me at ydeardorff@hotmail.com if you want. yaughn |

Since it is a 65 901 it should have the small output flanges (T1 sized but w/ 2 dowels and 4 bolts). You can run T1 inner and T2 outers.
The other option is 930 sized CVs. The bigger output flanges off the 70/71 911/01 trans slip right into the older 901. The cost when buying chromo stub axles from ERCO in 930 size is only a little bit more than what 944/Thing stub axles cost. Lobro 930 joints are about 50 bucks each. You also need used 911/930 axle boot flanges because they must be reused with new boots. This is the route I went. Sway A Way will not custom build axles with course and fine spline on one axle (VW/901 vw 930 CVs respectively). SA

I have the 901 tranny now in the garage, I also have the 911 complete axles
will the 911 axles go in, or do I have to make it 911 up to the vw cv's just before the stubs? heres a picture of my tranny on the floor in my garage. |
