I thought these photos documenting the preparation of my vintage racer would be of interest. We started with a run-of-the-mill 72 car (purchased on eBay), stripped it to the metal, straightened it, welded in a cage, powder-coated everything, added a new pedal-box assembly, AIM display and the best components we could find. FAT performance built a powerful 4 cylinder engine and we are off to the races!

My wife's car is going in for an oil cooler to get it DE ready for 2013 with the goal of having it vintage ready for the fall. Same shop that built the Ginther copy in the FS section.
Pretty sure he uses 2 coolers with fans inbetween (think of the coolers as the bread in the sandwhich). Places it behind the engine. Without using the front there really is no perfect place in a 914. I would check with others in running 4's and see what they have done or email SVRA and ask. You don't want to ge caught up in a rule change or when they decide to forego selective enforcement. |
