Hey all,
Planning on a water pumper engine swap for my 914, and I see most of the radiator mounts involve cutting the hood or venting air outwards someway involving that. I already have the floor cut for factory A/C (not there any more and don't plan on keeping A/C with the engine swap), and I was curious if I could mount a radiator horizontal, and direct air out of the bottom of the car. I know this will cause lift, but I'm unsure how much it will cause at speed, and if it will actually be an issue? I'd like to maintain as much as my trunk as I possibly can, that's why mounting it 100% horizontally is appealing to me. Thank you for your critisim, Francesco |

Sway bar mount reinforcement 914Limitied, best design out there. Unless your trying to find something larger then MadDogs Mount is more than likely over kill. I have used both.
Inner Log - Maddog Outer Log if you need a real stiff car 914LTD RE-concole - Tangerine racing Chris stuff is the best Things not to do: Rear Trailing Arms - do not box them. Lots of info on here, better to put some tubes or add a plate into the arm. Tangerine does the arm with the plate in the middle, it costs a bit more, but worth it in the long run. Deluxe Trailing Arms 914 GT reinforcement kit, better to spend you more doing the console and tube to the firewall. Chris' stuff will do to the best for the money. Rear Suspension Inner Console Reinforcements and Rear Pickup Points Reinforcing Kit If you feel like you need more, 914LTD does an outer rocker kit that goes all the way back to the suspension outer pickup point of the rear console. Good luck with the build. |
