Thermostat location and the first line finished.


Now I have to leave for dinner at my mother-in-law's birthday.

Thanks for your patience. I'm back from a much-needed vacation.

The fuel pump is in:

I didn't really want to take the engine back out, but it was only bolted in, not hooked up.

The fifteen minutes it took to pull it back out is already saving time elsewhere.

You can see the new supply line on the cooler. The cooler only recently arrived after being modified for a 914, so having the engine out made it much easier to install. The rest of the tin is on and the wiring is all terminated on the transaxle and starter.

Then I moved on to the scavenge line from the thermostat to the tank. Also much easier with the engine out.

I tested the starter today. It worked fine.

Oil coolers go in next.

Excellent, Joe. I'll be watching the install of the Setrabs with interest.

The two brackets for the top of the coolers are now drying after paint. The bottom brackets will have to wait until everything is done and the muffler hanger is on straight because they get secured to the same bolt as the muffler/header/hanger junction.

I will have to weld a strut between that point and the bottom hangers, but it's all got to be finished and squared up before I can make that weld.

The engine is back in. That should be the last installation for the engine.


James chose rear coolers because he didn't want to cut the front of the car. These four holes are the extent of the body modifications for the rear cooler arrangement.

I'll bolt the coolers in tomorrow.

Yesterday was slow, but all the prep work produced some serious results today.

Here goes the oil cooler install and plumbing.

Don't worry, Adel clamps are on the way. Everything will be well secured. I'm just trying to get oil in the thing so I can finish the wiring and try to start it. Once it's running, it'll be down hill from there.

Here we go....

Joe,
May I ask where you buy your oil lines and fittings?

More importantly, may you answer? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Very Clean Joe. It is only a guess but with that dual Setrab, I would think that you would get more cooling than if you had only one that was twice the size. I am curious to see what the running temp will be in the middle of summer. That is a much better set up than what I had, thanks for the suggestion. I am beginning to think you know what you are doing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Hmmm. Let me see if I can find some. They're not in the parts box from the owner.
