I have been putting parts together for this for a long time. I started with oil lines (hard gt lines) , oil tank side oil lines, now onto cooler and lines up to it.. Next will be t stat area.
I want to share what progress along the way as folks ask me often if I have a kit and well "working on it" Here is a really nice oil cooler I plan to use in the kit. Notice the angle of the inlets and how they are divided.. |

Hey Ben,
Question about some of the oil lines if I decide to not go with a Porsche t-stat... What I have: -1975 2.7 engine, oem Behr cooler with a 30mm push on fitting -Your ss hard lines to a front mounted oil cooler -Your ss hard line from scavenge pump -Your Aluminum 914/6 oil tank What I plan to substitute: -Mocal male 16-AN thermostat, wherever convenient. Likely where the Porsche thermostat would mount. The Mocal units are about half the price of what I can find the Porsche ones for nowadays. *Edit: Just realized I highlighted the 12AN Mocal unit. I would be buying the 16AN unit... -What I need: -All four lines for the Mocal t-stat: 1) SS hardline - ext. oil cooler supply 2) SS hardline - ext. oil cooler return 3) t-stat to oil tank return 4) from scavenge ss hard line to t-stat -Soft line from oil tank to engine return (push on the behr oil cooler) I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to go with the Mocal t-stat since going to/from the SS hard lines to the ext. oil cooler seems like a challenge... If popped for the OEM Porsche thermostat, would it make life easier to simply order pre-bent and pre sized oil lines? |
