My buddy is considering buying a half finished 914 project car that will need a few things including an oil cooler for the 3.2 six. What do shops usually charge for parts and labor generally for this, ballpark? Thanks.

Mark said it all,very expensive process,fitting and hose's really add up cost ,don't go metric as AN is so much cheaper and you can get conversion adaptors from Elephant Racing,I payed the price in a big way with metric because when purchased I had most of them but payed dearly for the rest.
The right cooler and thermostat and hard/ soft lines are not chump change by any means. Fitment of oil lines is not beyond DIY but lots of research needed to see how its best done,@ a shop it will be costly so select the right shop with experience...do it once and right. |
