I think this is the cleanest project I've ever seen. Wayyy nice. Good Job Marv! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

seems like an odd place for the thermostat. the pump, ergo your engine, has to work pretty hard to shove cold oil all the way up to the front, only to find its not hot enough yet, and goin' all the way back. what if the safety valve in the case didn't work right? rank speculation on my part, but I'd wait til it was warmed up before driving it.

re: the wheel color: imho, red would divert attention from the beautiful body work, especially with a neutral color like silver.

Careful, now, you're thinkin' too much. Conventional wisdom & indepentent thinking seldom coexist peacefully. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

BTW, there is no saftey valve on the scavenge side of the engine. Nor is there in that thermostsat.

Here's mine. I've seen one mounted behind the front bumper, visible through the fog light grill.

I've never heard of any actual problems with this set up.
Only speculation and debate. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

The oil goes into the tank from this circuit which already has 8 or more qts, depending on the tank you will use.

Starvation is a non-issue.

Its custom fabricated all steel, and is visible in the very first pic of this thread, I had it modified for the GT flares.

Thanx, its the details that make the whole. My goal is to make an updated GT car, virtually no frills no bling, kinda like in my mind like the factory would build it using updated technology.

Not really a problem, been done on many a 911 & 914 racers.

Thanx, I really like doing all the fabrication, my business has a fully equipped machine shop, so fab is a breeze.

Thanx guys for all the support! The club has saved my ass a few times on this project.

Marv,
Love the front valance and spoiler. Too bad someone can't take a mold and reproduce. I need one like that.
