Topic 1: Has anyone ever tried mounting an oil cooler under a GT lid just above the fan, and if so does it keep the temp low enough for DE events?
Topic 2: Has anyone here ever adapted motronic from a 3.2 to work on a 2.7? If so, what is involved? Which distributor? What cam? Stock low compression CIS pistons or JEs? Topic 3: What kind of power can I get if I keep the CIS but am willing to port the heads, change cams and go to JE pistons? Please feel free to address any or all of the above? I have a '74 2.7 core that is currently torn apart and ready to send out for machining. It already has case-savers and nikasil jugs, so I am going to stay at 2.7. I have all of the CIS parts, so that is an option for induction, but I would rather do something else (other than carbs). I will also be running stock 6 heat exchangers and a 911 muffler. I just can't bear the thought of rebuilding this thing and only ending up with 150 hp, so any tips would be most appreciated. |

In terms of the oil cooler, if you really don't want to do a front one then I think under the rear trunk would be better than the engine compartment. Under the engine lid you'd probably not get enough airflow and you'd have the heat coming from the engine baking the cooler the whole time.
I am not an FI guy but my guess is one of the popular aftermarket setups would be easier to implement than the 3.2 Motronic. You'll need to be able to tune it. |

I should call Steve Wong to see if he has ever done a chip for a smaller motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
