I am putting heat in my six conversion. I know where I'm placing my fan, but what I don't know is what size and location should I cut the holes in the engine tin? Did the factory or the 911 setups use a coupler to connect the hose from topside of the tin to underneath? What have others done? Pics of your setups?
Engine: 3.2l, have the later 914 blower motor connector that branches at the fan into two outlets, heat exchangers are GHL SS, using my 914-4 flapper boxes |

I'm running a 3.2 with factory heat exchangers. The hoses run straight through the tin. The goofy part is finding the right side tin that connects to the fan shroud but can also clear the distributor. The 3.2 has a bigger distributor than the earlier sixes. The driver side tin off the shroud is easily sourced from any early 911. I am also using the 914-4 heater valves on my heat exchangers.
