Just found a reproduction 914-6 GT oil cooler new for $300. That's $188 less than new!

Is it going to be big enough?

It's the one PMS sells with their 914-6 oil cooler kit. Should be good. I hope (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Too late. I've lost interest. I'm going to build another 4 cylinder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Seriously, thanks. I will have it all ordered by the end of the day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So Rob, are you trying to keep up with Mike, (kg6dxn) and see how many different engines you can put in your 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I think V8 would be next.

Nice engine, looks like your having fun! Congrats

Jeff

I had thought about that Jeff... In the last 10 years it has had its original, a 2270, a borrowed Dwight Mitchell motor (thanks Jim!), a 2432 (sold to John) and now a 3.2. I doubt it will ever need another motor in my lifetime. When I had my 911 I remember thinking that the 3.2 was an incredible motor and would be perfect in a 914.

I have a nice muffler you may want.

It will need to be blasted and coated.

Well, we're getting close to putting the 3.2 six in the car. Two things are slowing the installation down, not that there isn't a whole lot of prep to do. First, McMark is on vacation, catching fish in Michigan. Second, he has a big full restoration project going on that he is trying to get out the door and over to Altissimo as quick as he can.

Since I live a couple hundred miles away, I figured I'd better shag my tail over there if I wanted any part in my own six conversion! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So, yesterday, I went over the hill to Original Customs and took the top of the 3.2 off, taped up all the holes and went at the flat surfaces with a steam cleaner. After that, a pressure washer was used to make it look like you see here. Pretty nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
At the end of the week, Getty Design will be sending out RSR finish engine 'tin' and the oil cooling ducting. The oil tank and various stuff from Patrick Motorsports is already in place and waiting for install. The Quaiffe TBD for the 915 came today. All the peices are falling into place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Ahhh!!! McMark! My engine is upside down!

Interesting thing about the flipped picture thing Andy. On all my Apple machines, it is right side up. It was taken with an iPhone 5. On anything PC in my house, it is upside down. Apple saying Fuch you to the PC world? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

It actually didn't look too bad. The boys had sparks flying on an orange narrow body. It was getting an inner long kit. The yard could use some clean up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

If you take the pic with your iphone, the shutter button should be on the right side of the screen. Otherwise you get an upside down pic.

No picture to post yet, but I spoke with Marty at MSDS today and paid for the headers. Marty has sent them off to get ceramic coated. They should ship out to Sonoma in the next 8-10 days. Now, if Trekkor's 914-6 muffler meets standards, we have the exhaust system buttoned up.

I'll try to remember to snap a picture tomorrow early evening.

I don't know what it's worth $$$
