Thanks for the replies and helpful information.
I have the stock trailing arms so I'll use the beetle items and work the 914 output flanges as Yetibone mentioned. I have a line on a nosecone and hockey stick for the conversion locally, all I need now are the 914 PP/FW and clutch. Should be able to source those locally.
Now for the cross-member. I have seen this done a few different ways on a few sites and Lanner (
www.vdubcustoms.com) had a few suggestions that I will consider. Fabbing one up will not be a problem.
Mike Ghia's site (
www.performanceghia.com) has a nice writeup on installing a 901/911 and he mentioned he used a Scat DragFast shifter ... so looks like I'm good to go.
Looks like I should be contributing another tech article by Feb 2005
