been looking on the site and cleaning up the floor in my 75 914 that will some day
be water cooled and a question poped into my head. why run the water lines in the center tunnel? Couldnt I use the space currently occupied by the air tubes? Has this been done? I searched and everyone with a radiator up front runs them down the center. There would be no use for the air tubes. Just a thought. |

If you are going to use the suby tranny you will probably be using a cable shifter so there won't be a shifter shaft in the tunnel. Also I would not put the fuel lines alongside the coolant lines in the tunnel. I think I will use the tunnel as it seems to be the cleanest routing I can come up with and I've been studying it quite awhile. I'll still have to look at the rack area and into the front trunk approach to make my final decision. If I use the tunnel it will have a open bottom to help release the heat. Or put a louvered cover on it to be really fancy. It seems a galvanized c shaped cavity would be the cats meyow. Like a galvanized 2x6 metal building perling except with the lips turned out instead of in. I will just get a sheetmetal shop to make it and weld it in. It should be even stronger than the original.
