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 plan on doing the same thing with my chrome bumper.
Getty design sells the shroud. You can also see pictures of it in my blog. http://www.gettydesign.com/914_bodywork.php#gtoil I am running a mocal thermostat. I would also recommend a fan under the shroud if you plan on driving it on the street and get stuck in grid lock traffic. Otherwise for the track and open freeway, it will never overheat with the above setup. Patrick Motorsports sells a cooler that fits in there perfect. You could also use a Mazda RX7 cooler, but you will have to cut the shroud a bit to make it fit. I'm running the Patrick cooler with standard steel braided line down the rocker panel like the GT cars, |
