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. |

Hi,
I have a V8 conversion and ran the lines thru the center tunnel. Right side, no interference with the shifter or the fuel line, which I moved to the left side. I don't get any problem with heat in the cabin, but I only have a 283 (prob 275hp). The good part is at no point do the lines pass thru the cabin and it is a pretty straight shot under the gas tank. 2 - 45 deg elbows and the lines are in the front trunk. Running thru the longs would be nice, but is more difficult in terms of going from the longs to the front trunk. You will have more bends/elbows, and you probably need to run thru the passenger interior at some point. Maybe you can build a box around it. At the time, I didn't want to add months to my project, so I chose the easier. |
