Hello,

water cooled 914 here. I have an LS6 motor I'm dropping in. Has anyone ducted a radiator successfully without cutting the front bumper? I'd like to keep the bumper intact and use a front lower valance for an intake. Was going to lay the radiator in the front trunk at an angle. Thanks!

Bill

Thanks for the ideas and info guys. I think the front is one of the best looking parts of a 914.
