As a start you have to flip the ring and pinion unless you want 5 reverse gears and 1 forward gear.

And then you need nose cone from the 912/911 transmission and the mount.

The 914 transmission is the earlier 901 type. 1st is on the bottom left. Flip the ring & pinion, change the selector rods to early, tail shifter type, install a 901 equipped 911/'69 and earlier 912 end cover, get hybrid axles for your abomination and a 901 shifter mechanism.

So yeah, it's doable, but you'll need lots of parts.

You missing your type 923 (912E) trans? It broken? What's the story?

Thank you for that descriptive name for that 912E; (which gets a Triumph TR-3 picture pasted over it when it would appear in Sports Car Market.)

So start with a early tail shift 914 box, all you need is a 914 shifter, & a early 911/912 nose cone & ...? Axles? Do you mean output flanges?
You are suggesting that the CV on the 912E is different than 914?

certainly too much hassle to even try it. Get a 912e transmission (even we have one on the shelf) and it bolts right in, or a 911 earlier transmission but then you will have to change the shift mechanism and cv axles, just not worth it
