The radiator installation is most of the swaps labor. It is very similar to putting in a front oil cooler for a Porsche motor. You can use either a (heavy duty) 1967- 69 Camaro radiator (911), 1968-72 (heavy duty) Nova radiator (914) or my RSH radiator. All work well when installed by the kit instructions. The kit comes with templates and detailed photographs to help in this step of the swap. The recommended electric fans mount to the radiator with their own shroud. The RSH radiator can be installed in the 911,912, or 930 without modification to the gas tank. Because of the danger involved when cutting or welding a gas tank, and the difficulty in welding so the tank doesn't leak, it is recommended to use the RSH radiator. The RSH radiator for the 914 stands straight up and only uses 1/4 of the trunk space.The coolant pump is machined from a 356 T-6 casting,complete with Chrysler impeller assembly, AN fittings and pulley. I also sell a heater core and shroud for use with the stock Porsche heater / blower motor. If you want A/C I also sell all the hardware to install the Sankyo - Sanden #508 compressor.

901: Good choice for basic conversions, engine should be limited to 300 ft lbs of V8 torque or 225 ft lbs of V6 torque in 1st gear and 340 ft lbs of V8 torque or 255 ft lbs of V6 torque in 2nd thru 5th. Top speed will be approx. 148 mph @ 6500 rpm with the stock 31:22 (ZA) 5th gear set. If you want a taller 5th gear, it can be replaced with a 19:32 (H) 2nd gear reversed (32:19), where the driven gear in the set becomes the driving gear. Then 6500 rpm is approx. 179 mph and 55 mph is a comfortable 2000 rpm. The stock 215mm pressure plate with the RSH disk will hold up to 350 ft/lbs of V8 torque. The stock disc will hold up to 260 ft/lbs.

915: In 1972 Porsche started putting the 915 transaxle in the 911 and 916. It will handle 450 ft/lbs of V8 torque. In 1977, Porsche Strengthened its mainshaft and it will survive 600+ ft/lbs of V8 torque. 915 ring and pinion must be flipped for mid-engine Application(914). The 911 SC clutch assembly will hold up to 325 ft/lbs of V8 torque. The RSH disc will hold up to 450+ ft/lbs of V8 torque.

914 upgrades are listed below and should be considered for all high performance applications.

Trailing Arms: pre-shaped reinforcement kit

Rear chassis reinforcement kit

160 lb Progressive Rate Springs

911 Suspension: Direct bolt-in for 914

911 Brakes and BMW 320i Brakes: Greatly improve stopping distance and pedal feel.
