As some of you know, the LT1 has reverse cooling, and uses a special cam driven water pump on the front of the engine. This water pump is basically "the problem" with using an LT1 in a 914.
My solution is to put an electric conversion on the pump, and move the whole unit to the front trunk by the radiator. This also has the benefit of shortening the route between the thermostat and radiator to reduce the chances of out of control cycling. (the thermostat is integrated into the water pump, along with a bypass, so coolant always flows through the engine, it just bypasses the radiator when cool. Here are the before pics:   |
