I am running the stock transaxle with taller gears. Its pretty crazy but it works, you take 5th gear and "flip" it and put ut where 3rd was, take 3rd, flip it and put it where 4th was, take a 2nd gear out of an old 912 box, flip it and run it on 5th. Lock out 1st and away you go! Someone figured it out and its has worked out pretty well for about 7 years and 40,000 miles. been running about 450 HP through it. With the 302 the power doesn't come on unril abou 2500-3000 so at least the car is rolling when its all in. This had been the best running, best driving, most relaible and most fun car i hacve ever owned. Its pretty roomy and comfortable too. I have driven everything from Vipers to vettes and the 914 is definately a blast.
here are some pics before the engine was installed

Thanks for all the info. I am a little confused though, with all of the gear swapping how many forward gears do you have? It sound like a cool set up and I can only imagine how much fun it is to drive. How's traction in the rain?
