ive been on hear for a wile now and i think i finaly have some pics and a good list of stuff ive done/doing so hear it is.

the car started out as a 71 super but the body was nothing but filler and rust
a freind of my had a 73 body with a bit less rust on it so we swap them my pan was already modded for the 901 trans



hears some pics of the 911 shifter mod









911/914 transmission





setting up the dash to run 05 wrx gauge cluster









and last but not least the power plant 2.0 turbo subaru

It looks interesting but I would check your fuel gauge out though!

Into it... Can you tell me where you got that really nice base for your shifter?
Also, what exhaust and ECU are you running?

I can't wait to get back to working on my build... thanks for the pics.

[seangfy]

The base for the shifter was the center section from a 914 found a wreck one and cut it out and trimed it down.

Looks like you're off to a good start. I presume you know your heads are going to stick out of the rear bodywork though with the trans in that position?

G'day
I love the wrx dash cluster!

Did u put the aftermarket headers on the engine. I have found that they hang alot lower than the standard headers & u also lose bottom end torque. Most of the big power wrx's here in Oz still run the standard headers, just ported with a bigger cross over pipe between each bank. I have done this to mine & it made boost come on earlier & smoother.
hope this helps
regards

I'm a little worried about the how low the header hangs down the only reason i have that one is a Friend had it laying around. The engine was originally a twin turbo motor so i ditched the stock twin turbo stuff Ive heard nothing but bad things about trying to get that to work

As for the the heads sticking out i might have to remake my transmission mounts to get it to go back a little bit more so i can try to squeeze the timing covers im waiting to get my adapter kit from Kennedy to start test fitting i set the gear box up for using a type 4 engine first than changed my mind and decided to go Subaru.

jmd I'm planing on running a magasquirt ecu Ive emailed the guys at diyautotune.com he gave me a list of the things i will need to order to work with the turbo and the coil on plug subie set up about $600 or so for the set up

thanks for all the comments guys
