For those who have converted to 6-cyl (2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, 3.2) did you keep the heat when you converted?
I am wondering whether to keep the heat or cut out those heater mufflers and fabricate some "roll bars" to add some chassis stiffness. boxsterfan |

I have been shopping for a 3.0 or 3.2 conversion for the past few months.
Of the dozen I checked on, I have yet to look at a car that still had heat. |

I'm running factory heat exchangers on my 3.2.
The heat exchangers were not in concours condition so the PO gave them to me for free. If I had to buy them I would probably live without heat especially if I still lived in AZ. Steve |

I am wondering whether to keep the heat or cut out those heater mufflers and fabricate some "roll bars" to add some chassis stiffness. no need to cut out the heater mufflers. a roll-bar/cage can fit without eliminating the heat route. it's been done several times around here ... see tony's page: http://www.tcdesignfab.com/porsche%20projects.htm Andy |
