Will a porsche 901 fit with no mods to a stock type 1 engine?

[ydeardorff]

I have aquired through ebay, a freshly rebuilt 901 transmission.
I have no problem with the install. However I need to know if the bolt pattern on the 901 is a direct bolt up to a type 1 engine. The Reason is I need to give the criteria to kennedy engineering for an adpater plate for my rotary conversion.
I am also getting the CV joints from this carrera, basically everything from the shifter to the wheels.
What exactly will I need to get to adapt it to my 1971 beetle pan?
Remember I will be running 200HP in this setup.
Feel free to eamil me.

You will need a 914 strater, and follow the tech article on the germanlook home page. I do not know what flywheel/clutch/pressure plate you will need to adapt for you application. Kennedy should be able to fix you up. The bolt pattern for the 901 is the same as the T-1. I would tell them you are putting it in a 914 just to make it simple.

I will be getting the 901 starter with the tranny will this work?
The reccomendations so far that I have heard is to get a 6v starter and run it on 12v's as that is the only way to spin the mazda rotary engine fast enough to start it.

the clutch and flywheel come with the kennedy adapter kit,...What i really need is the info on how to connect the tranny to the wheels, using apropriate parts for a 200 HP engine that will straped to the tranny. This tranny is a freshly rebuilt 901 straight out of a wrecked 1965 carrera.
any help on what to grab at the junk yard would be great!!!!!!!

Since it is a 65 901 it should have the small output flanges (T1 sized but w/ 2 dowels and 4 bolts). You can run T1 inner and T2 outers.

The other option is 930 sized CVs. The bigger output flanges off the 70/71 911/01 trans slip right into the older 901.

The cost when buying chromo stub axles from ERCO in 930 size is only a little bit more than what 944/Thing stub axles cost. Lobro 930 joints are about 50 bucks each. You also need used 911/930 axle boot flanges because they must be reused with new boots. This is the route I went.

Sway A Way will not custom build axles with course and fine spline on one axle (VW/901 vw 930 CVs respectively).

I have the 901 tranny now in the garage, I also have the 911 complete axles
will the 911 axles go in, or do I have to make it 911 up to the vw cv's just before the stubs?
heres a picture of my tranny on the floor in my garage.
