Shall I say... 3.6?, my conversion thread ... Options

[SirAndy]

alright, time to start a conversion thread. i picked up the engine a month ago and started with the prepping of the tub today.

didn't get too much stuff done, oh well, babysteps ...

the ToDo-List (striked-out items are done!):
============================================
i'm going to overhaul the suspension, mount a front oil cooler with fan(s), fix a few spots on the tub the PO had hacked together, add racing seats and 5-point harness, install the 944 axles, the 911 eBrake, the new trailing arms, add a rear sway bar, Mueller roller bearings, new 250lbs springs on adjustable perches, fix the front sway bar, install new rear window, fix the gastank (correctly this time), replace the plastic fuel lines, get a trick porsche motorsports setup for my oiltank, add a vent to the front hood, redo the rear spoiler (ducktail), 100mm wheel studs all around, throw in the 3.6L motor and when all that is done, i'm going to give her a one of a kind paintjob!

oh, and i'm still playing with the idea to have her put on a celette bench to make sure she's straight ...
============================================

have you thought about making the top / exit wider than the intake?

CFM flow for the hood louvres looks to be much higher than the CFM flow for the cooler. Simply based on surface area the cooler is 21" x 6" (126 sq. in.). Andy's using 3" openings so two 21" openings will equal the surface area of the cooler, and Andy's using three openings. So it's already bigger. PLUS, (yes there's a bonus) the oil cooler obviously isn't going to flow nearly as well as an opening of equal area. BUT the air will expand as it's heated. All in all, I think these three louvres will give more than adequate air flow.
