I came acros Bonkars page a while ago, This page covers some of the more general areas in the conversion.
However there are some issues that will be specific to my particular situation.
first and formost is the shift linkage, being that I'm using a 914 sideshift 901 and not a 901 from a 911, the linksge will be different.
Also this tranny will have different mounting points than the 911 version.
the ring gear will have to be flipped also to get this going the right direction, otherwise I'll only have one gear forward and five gears reversed. this poses a particular problem because there is only one differential side plate on this tranny, meaning I'll have to pull all its guts out just to flip the gear.
Now on the shift linkage front all seems to look good. The side shift tranny has a very simple layout fot he gear selection. its just a matter of figuring out how to adapt this to my bug setup, and fabricate what needs be. Hopefully this won't turn out to be too much work.
The tranny mounts look as though they'll be easy to do, this particular unit has some 914 specific mounts that will come in handy, in particular there are two "arms" near the front of the tranny that will be great for reducing torque flex in the engine and tranny. Its just a matter of some cutting and welding on the pan.
as for flipping the ring gear, well, Hopefully all goes well, for the most part I think as long as I put everything together the same way it came apart, everything will work out well.
