Hey Everyone
Im starting to give up hope that I can find a -6 swap in my price range. I'm starting to look at other options and as much as I hate to admit it, the Subaru swaps are very tempting. I wonder though, what are some common pitfalls? - adapting the subaru -> 901 issues? Can the 901 handle 250+ bhp - cooling issues as a result of plumbing a radiator, ie air trapped in the system? - axles? can they handle 250+bhp? - wiring issues? Anything else? Thanks -Simon |

Putting a radiator in a 914 is a dumb ass idea Except for the rad in the engine bay guy It screws up the entire car |

Look at the restorations where people have had to patch up dealer installed A/C units, what is the difference? Many of our cars already need repair due to rust or minor wrecks so another few days of "fixing" a radiator install isn't really that big of a deal. |
