Chris's 914

V8 radiator install

Mar 06 - I installed 2 - 1inch copper lines thru the main tunnel to the right of the shifter. At this point, not sure it will work as far as flow or heat, but I preferred not to have rubber hose under the car.

Pic 1 is the lines on the engine side - After the engine installed, I probably could have gotten away without the 90 bends.

Pic 2 is the front trunk. Pic 3 is under the gas tank, from the tunnel to the front trunk.

The radiator is a single pass 16x27 aluminum (off ebay). I hope that will be enough - a 283 doesn't give off that much heat. The fan is a single 16 - 3300cfm. I found the aluminum shroud off ebay. Custom made, you give the dimensions and they make it and cut the fan hole. About $450 in to the setup so far.
