One thing about doing a project like this, the 911 guys snub there noses
when asking any info on their forums. Really they just read and never give any advise. I have found this forum to be completely different and thank you all very much. :) I'm using a 911 / 996 suspension and a Boxster transmission the two share tons of parts. I have been asking in the Porsche sites if there's a factory axle I could use but get no love at all. The 996 and the Boxster use the same control arms and I think the same rear hubs so its likely one end will slide in fine, the inside end is likely the same as well. The rear track is basically the same so its likely someone knows. I'm picking up the Boxster trans tomorrow (Sunday) so I should know soon. Pictured is a G-50/01 and good trans but I'm not going that way. Renegade Hybrids in Las Vegas is using the Boxster now over the G-50 and have this dialed in great !!! One thing I learned from my old 914 / V8 was its so important to match up the correct transmission and gearing or your project wont be worth a hoot. I was using a 911/930 4 speed in my previous car and had loads of trouble getting the clutch to work well. Its a great transmission strong as they get for an off the shelf transaxle and it shifted odd. There was a huge dual gate action that had to happen in order to engage a gear. Nothing like a modern smooth action found on newer designs. It took a while to master it but it was bullet proof (for me anyway).:hitaxeonthehead: The LS1 is a new world for me and I have to be honest I'm clueless as to what cam to use and since I have some PRC heads from Texas performance and speed makes it even harder for me to move forward. I'm going to have to get some advise as to what cam to run and how to best set up the engine. John St John :confused59: |
I am glad you posted it here in project progress threads. You will find much support here, and plenty of good advice as well. There are many Porsche fans here (I am one of them savin up for a newer 911) and most of us here aren't "purists", we are "performance car guys"....i'm sure if somebody put a supercharged aluminum 4 cyl in a Prius, we'd be watching...haha....
Good luck with project...and welcome....Mike |
What a cool project!

Yes, very cool project you have here. A friend of mine just picked up a '72 914 that is in very good condition, body wise. He's planning a Subaru turbo motor and trans swap this year. Subscribed. |
Great project! Really like the camber plates. :thumbsup:

Very cool project. Would love to see the p-car's guys faces at a PCA event when you blow by them thumping eight cylinders of American muscle. :buttkick: Subscribed.

This group is great ! Whoever said the craftsmen have all died off
