The current thought is to install a modified Mazda RX7 cooler in the front of my GT style conversion.
I bought a cooler off Ebay, for 10 bucks and it showed up on my doorstep today. I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of the part. It's welded aluminum and the craftsmanship appears to be on par with German Behr parts.
I shot a bunch of pictures and thought they might be of interest to some on the list.
Here's an overall view:

That's what I have in my car. The motor is a 1983 911SC stock 3.0. The size of this radiator is right to match up with the 5 holes in the front of the 914. I didn't do all those things you are doing. Maybe I need to? The one I bought had the factory lines and I had fittings put on my oil lines to match and hooked it up. Going from the big 911 lines down to the small mazda lines causes some noises when running , but the car hasn't run hot yet at the track.
