Porsche 915 transmission in a Bay

[dpetteng]

So in my bay project we have the 915 and 3.2 flat 6 fitted but trying to figure the best drive shafts to use. Has anyone done this? I guess the options are Bay driveshafts, 911 driveshafts or maybe 944 driveshafts?

I think both the 944-924 and the original 1971 Bus axles are the same maybe a different length. I know the 944-924 use VW Thing 181 CV-Joints (What are they ?) that have more angle of operation 22's or something.

When i installed the 915 and 911 engine into my bay... used bay axles and cv joints. Used adapters to fit bay cv's to the early 915 box's flanges. Found a guy with a lathe who made them. That was back in the 80's.

I used the early 915 which has shorter 4.428 ring and pinion instead of 3.875 to better match ratios using the bay body, as 5th gear is very tall.
