Stainless Steel 914-6 Heat Exchangers?, Anyone running these? Options

[Cairo94507]

Hi everyone- Scotty and I were talking and I want to keep the heat functioning in my Six when the 3.2 goes in. I found these heat exchangers:

They build to suit, so I am thinking I can get them to accommodate the 3.2 without much trouble. I have sent them a message but not heard back yet. Is anyone here running these or seen them in person?

Comments welcome.
Thanks, Michael

The great, great pity—if true—is that SSI did ALL of the work to produce 914-6 heat exchangers just as nice as their 911 and 914-4 heat exchangers, but never produced them for two reasons:

1. The owner of SSI didn't think there was a big enough market for them.
2. He couldn't quite get one side to be true equal length. I am told the discrepancy is so negligible as to be no performance detriment.

The owner has since sold SSI to Dansk or some overseas company, but I hear that he got to keep all of the 914-6 tooling and specs he prepared. I wonder if there wouldn't be a way to get a group buy going to convince him to make them? There are a lot of us who really want a good solution, and nothing beats SSIs when it comes to heat exchangers.

Thoughts?

That's an intriguing idea!
