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. |

I loved my 2.7 in my 914. You can run a stock 2.0 six flywheel and clutch and bolt right up to the 914 trans without an adapter. If my motor was overhauled correctly with race wear studs and case savers, I would of kept it versus going to the 3.2.

If my motor was overhauled correctly with race wear studs and case savers, I would of kept it versus going to the 3.2. I have to say that I got lucky in that my case already has case savers. I have no idea what the studs are, so I will probably replace those to be safe. I also found a 2.0 flywheel on fleebay, and I failed to inspect it closely when it arrived. I looked at it months later, and it has a few teeth that will probably need to be welded up and filed, if that is even possible. Really excited about building this motor (first timer), but time and budget won't permit it to go quickly. That is probably a good thing as it will give me more time to learn and determine what I can do about induction. Speaking of induction, the Bitz Racing Megasuirt kit may be the way I go since I have all of the CIS parts needed, and it is somewhat plug and play. However, I think that his kit uses MS 1, which I don't believe handles spark. I would obviously prefer a solution that handles spark as well. So much to learn! |
