Shall I say... 3.6?, my conversion thread ... Options

[SirAndy]

alright, time to start a conversion thread. i picked up the engine a month ago and started with the prepping of the tub today.

didn't get too much stuff done, oh well, babysteps ...

the ToDo-List (striked-out items are done!):
============================================
i'm going to overhaul the suspension, mount a front oil cooler with fan(s), fix a few spots on the tub the PO had hacked together, add racing seats and 5-point harness, install the 944 axles, the 911 eBrake, the new trailing arms, add a rear sway bar, Mueller roller bearings, new 250lbs springs on adjustable perches, fix the front sway bar, install new rear window, fix the gastank (correctly this time), replace the plastic fuel lines, get a trick porsche motorsports setup for my oiltank, add a vent to the front hood, redo the rear spoiler (ducktail), 100mm wheel studs all around, throw in the 3.6L motor and when all that is done, i'm going to give her a one of a kind paintjob!

oh, and i'm still playing with the idea to have her put on a celette bench to make sure she's straight ...
============================================

ETA: soon enough to run a full season for 2006 2007 !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I absolutely agree about dumping air under car, when it isn´t necessary.
I have installed hood louvers on mine. I simply let the air enter into front trunk area, the rear part with tank seals. Since the louvers are in a low pressure area, the air is practically sucked out. I have small deflector at the front edge. I have a 2.8 that is run pretty hard at DE days, always 180-190 drgrees.
Seems like the obvious, best approach to me.
