Unhappy Which Porsche gearbox???

I've read abouth 100 threads on this forum abouth the porsche gearbox conversion but I need some help. I'm completely lost....

I want to put a porsche 5 speed gearbox in my beetle. Now the question is which one do I need to buy? I know I can chose 2 gearboxes to do this: 901/911 or 914. Which one would be the best for the conversion and which one will be the easiest to find?

I have a 2.4l type 4 engine with 200 BHP. Which gearbox has the best gear ratio's? (Or is there no difference?) I've also learned that I need to change the clutch release bearing. Could someone explain it to me please.

Some people told me that the porsche gearboxes aren't that strong and that they break easily when driven sportively... Is this true?

What would be an honnest price for a good porsche gearbox at this moment?

I know I must look like an idiot with al my questions but I want to be well informed before I start converting my beetle...

Friendly regards,

Tom De Coster,
Belgium
