Kit... None.
You are going to haver to hack the piss out of your bus to fit all that stuff in it. Oil tank. Wide and long flat 6. Not to mention the bigger 915 tranny hassle. Also for the IRS stick with steal arms, any AL ones will make it too wide. Forget it or open the wallet very wide.

Best if he had a 74 up bus then it would be easy. Better yet a vanagon would solve all problems. Flat 6 are much easier to put in a vanagon. Has being done here in jamaica.

I have the same question regarding fitting the flatsix into a splitty. My engine is a 1969 2,0l engine and I had planned on using a 1303S IRS gearbox. 944 steel trailingarms and brakes. Pros and cons? Do I swap the nosecone from the IRS gearbox to the one from the stock splitty swingaxle gearbox?
Dont ask why I just settle with the 2,0l. That question have been asked before and I answer it by saying that it is what I have in store and secondly that would be the maximum displacement increase allowed in Finland for a splitty... :agree: I suspect that if I have a good superbeetle gearbox it will cope with the moderate poweroutput from the small flatsix. I'm not building this for racing just building it because I like the combination of a splitty and the porka sound.. |

Unfortunately my -69 911 engine did not have any flywheel when I bought it. What I would appreciate find some info about is if I could use a post-69 911flywheel in combination with the 1303S gearbox? The reason I ask this is that the pre-69 flywheels are priced as they were made out of Platinum compared to later ones...

Thanks, I know Geoff from volksrods.com. We've got the same interests He built his Hebrod with inspiration from my unfinished Hebster project too..
We've discussed this through e-mails too. He's got a Porsche transmission too if I dont remember totally wrong. |

This is how nice the 911 flatsix fits to a 1303S transmission..

Not so sure that's a sound replacement for hacking out the middle of the torsion tube. The top square tube is welded to thin sheetmetal with no additional plate to spread the stress. That will fatigue in no time IMO.

Just have a look at the whole project here (in German, but the pics will tell the story). This is how I did mount my 914 gearbox in my splitbus, with parts of Martin from bugat5speed. My complete project is now also available in English, here Last edited by skywalker; December 14th 2007 at 08:55. |

What did you do to the torsionbars? Lose them and make some other spring system, Coilovers or what?
In my case I try to not cut into the torsiontube though... |

Hi
It would be better to have the mounts in compression, that way if they fail, they only move around, not drop everything on the road. Steve

In other words like the upper version then? That was the main reason I concidered that design too..
I just assumed that the weight of the transmission and engine would be more stress to the mount than the power the transmission tend to press the nose upwards when accelerating? |

hey just my thoughts on this I too think the upper version would
be better just use some Good 1/4" Plate and Guset the **** out of it lol plus like what Steve C said it would just Hang it it did Brake, and Not fall to the ground. Just my to cents. Chris.
