Bell housings
If doing a NA to 951 engine swap, will I have to change to a 951 bell housing?

Check the parts PDF's on Porsche's web site to see if they are the same.

well considering the flywheel is different in itself, and the block is different in a few ways, I wouldn't exactly forget about it. I'm sure you can find something on ebay or on the net. I can't be 100% sure, but if it were me, I'd be checking availability. Besides, rb says they show different part numbers. There has to be some reason for that. Just my $.02
