A nice fellow at Pelican told me that the factory heat exchangers
Will not fit with out putting different flanges on the tops of them. I have a very nice set that came with my car. If I use the 3.2 engine that I just bought I could cut off the flanges from the Carrera exchangers and weld them to the tops of factory Heat exchangers. There may be more value in the used Carrera exchangers and I can sell them and get a different flange to weld to the top of my factory Heat exchangers. Thoughts? Thanks, Bob |

I heard that they fit. I have never used them (only headers).
I believe that a member here (mikez) may have put a pair on one before he sold it. You should check with him before cutting anything. I know that the 3.2 exhaust uses some sleeve rings to protect the exhaust port gaskets. I installed these rings/pipes in both sets of headers on our 3.2 cars. (perhaps that is what they meant). The 914-6 heat exchangers MAY have thin flanges, while the 3.2 used thick flanges. In that case, you should be able to swap out the longer studs for shorter ones. Post up some pictures. |

If you're gonna replace the studs, plan on drilling, threading, and helicoiling 12 holes.
You'll need a fixture, which is NLA. The Cap'n |

I do not think that was it. I think the idea was you cut the Carrera heat exchanger close to the head and then tack weld on the 916-6 heat exchanger there. I am not going to put new studs in. I would put headers on first. I live in Los Angeles but if I decide to go with this engine instead of the rebuilding of the 2.5 s engine the car will be better for someone later if I some day wish to sell it, not that I ever would.

That car is begging for a 2.5 (and original paint) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That's an extremely early example of a -6 (I'll shut up now...) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Eric,
That is my next post, what engine to put in. The 2.5 is not the Original engine. I will have two engines sitting here. The Carrera matches the one at home. Bob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

I never had trouble getting the studs out in one piece or destroying threads in those heads.
930 exhaust studs are worse for getting stuck. I'm sure it's possible, but if you soak them with PB Blaster and are careful, they do come out. Now I know where Mr Krusty gets his name. |

Eric,
Your right. The guy has not returned my email from my auction 10.00 today on the 3.2, I sure he will unless he thinks $4100. was too little for it. He had a positive feedback of 61 with 1 bad from a guy that said he does not respond if the bid is too low on a TV buy. It will be as it was meant to be Bob But will the almost perfect heat exchangers fit? |

QUOTE But will the almost perfect heat exchangers fit? On a 2.5...? Sure. I have a 2.5 and couldn't be happier. It's peaky, loud, fast and absolutely "perfect". (thanks Greg!) I don't have any issues with it being finicky. It starts, it runs. Yes, it needs to be massaged until it warms up but, that's what my car is. Doesn't 41 have a cool story behind it? Troutman and others?? |

Yes Eric, It had the almost perfect heat exchangers on the 2.5 but the question was different. The guy with the 3.2 is at a UPS mailbox in WA and I do not feel good on the deal right now so I am not ready to cut lose with my $4100. He will not take the $500. By Paypal like he said he would. I said we must do am EBay escrow or I will not do it. I will pay for escrow. I will not get screwed out of money. The 2.5 may roar one more time in #41

Thanks Mike,
I think your car came up in very late December when I was on a cruse ship in the Bahamas with my bid on this car in auction sniper in play. Internet connection was for shit on the ship. If I had been in town I would have driven up there to look at it. Bob |

Thanks, If this guy go for the Escrow then he is real. If not than he is fake. Someone from the club could go and look at it but it still does not mean he would send it down. Escrow protects me. His ad is real looking. The leaks down numbers are different than the one he sold one week ago. You have to be so careful. he is in SEATTLE, WA 98116 UPS drop box Bob |
