all measurements seem to indicate this should work. the flange face to flange face measurement on the 901 versus the 915 is about 3/4 inch wider. easily taken up by 4 CV's.
also borrowed an engine case to do a mock-up. only drawback I see is that I'll be using the weaker 94mm CV's. but I'm only expecting about 230 crank hp from my 3.0 so they should last. FWIW I think I'll pick up two new axles from pelican ($ 68 each! ) to get the best durability possible.
is this why I can't find any threads on this? it's just too easy? will update when I have everything bolted up.

sorry to bring up an old thread, but does anyone know if the output axle shaft diameter on the 914 flange is larger than the SWB 911. Reason I ask, I installed a Mag 911/01 case in a SWB, I had my SWB flanges machined to fit, but then realized the shaft diameter which slides into the bearings is approx 1/16" smaller in diameter than the 110mm flange that was in it. As far as I know the 915 trans and 911/01 are very similiar in the differential, so I was guessing the 915 and 911/01 trans share the same output bearing and if this is the case, is the 914 axle larger in diameter so I can just swap and be on my way? Any help would be great, thanks
