As many of you are aware, for several years I've been converting my 1974 to a 3.2 914/6. For nearly two years it's been on jackstands. Well I'm getting close to completion, and I need to source up to date heat exchangers.
I have a set of used OEM exchangers, but the flange thickness is different, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (thinner) and they won't work without spacers, or reseating all the head studs. So I need to find someone who can supply me a set that will work with a 3.2. Any guidance will be appreciated. |

About 2 months ago I worked on a factory six that has a 3.2 transplant. It has the factory heat exchangers on it, and they work fine. They are a little smaller than optimal, but the car pulls real strong.
To put them on, we had to replace all 12 studs on the exhaust ports. It is easy to do. Just get yourself a welder and 12 8x1.25 nuts. Put the nut on the stud, and weld it in place. I used a gas welding torch. After the nuts have cooled down, just use a socket to unscrew the stud. Then replace with a shorter stud and install the heat exchanger. |
