Project 914 Episode 11: Converting Subaru Trans to Fwd

In this episode I converted a Subaru trans to FWD so that I can run it as a rwd transaxle in the Porsche. Thanks for watching!

Great vid. Exactly what I was looking for. THANKS !

[@kingdeuce7873]

I have been watching this build since the beginning, and I must say your filming and editing skills have grown substantially. Just as the cars progress has. Keep making these awesome videos man!

[@SMBGarageChannel]

+SMB Garage (Spencer Bailey) Way to take a classic and make it look ridiculous. #YUCK

[@accordsmturbo]

this is crazy you managed to put both of my favorite cars in one i always loved the wrx sti and 911 and 914 but 911 is way out of reach for me. watching these videos on this swap actually gives me hope to actually own a porsche great job keep it up

[@SMBGarageChannel]

Yea the 911 is my dream... Gotta make good money before that is an option though.

[@ChemAndAdrenaline]

Someday, I will also have a Subaru-powered 914. I was *really* want to use the EE20.

[@SMBGarageChannel]

That would be unique, but I think small light cars feel good with high revving motors. I'd love a vanagon with an ee20 though!

[@r.arabian3056]

What is the torque spec for that bolt you had to get off to put the sleeve on? Who made the axles?

[@baxterscientific]

Just came across your vids. Awesome! How do you make the subaru trans work for opposite mount? I have a 911 but plan on swapping to subaru trans. Do I have to swap diff to make it spin other way? How is 914 now?

[@JB91710]

How did you get the bolt or whatever it is out of the yoke on the shifter rod?

[@SMBGarageChannel]

It's a rollpin. Just a hammer and a punch

[@JB91710]

Thanks. I saw it on another video and now it's out.

[@troyarcher8163]

Good thing you're not in Cali or they'd prolly impound the parts car for the wheels being on the asphalt

[@mlemmi]

Why you chose subaru for this project?

[@SMBGarageChannel]

Cheap, reliable, plentiful, flat.

[@photonfab]

Where did you get the rear plate and sleeve from? Love the videos!

[@SMBGarageChannel]

Demon V thanks! I happened to find a used one on Craigslist, but Bremar Automotive is the manufacturer

[@photonfab]

SMB Garage awesome! thanks. trying to gather parts for my '72. Love the videos keep them up. Going to be a huge help when I drive into mine 😃👍👍👍

[@panther105]

You're so skilled but just cutting some length off the transmission cover bolts was not something you would do to save having to go to the parts shop again....!!??
