901 and stock flywheel/crank

[Steve Arndt]

You can probably hand draw file the 7mm of depth right off the soft trans housing. Remove the studs, and file down the required amount. This can provile full engagement. Georoge Brown on the Cal Look forum has a 901 5 speed and an SR17x beetle starter in his 8.5:1 2110 T1.

What happens if you buy a high powered (maybe used, they last a long time!) stock 914 starter and use it with the Type 1 flywheel? I am quite interested in this, because I may have my 901 trans'ed car ready to drive before my T4 mutha motor is finished (and I have a couple of 2275 180 horse T1 motors to choose from).
