We have officially added liquid heat to the Porsche! We started with making some coolant fittings with barbs that pass thru the front crossmember and feed the heater core with the assistance of a booster pump. We then took a universal heater core that is built to go in a street rod that has defrost and a flap that goes down for floor heat. We built a shroud to direct heat from what should be floor setting which is now hooked to central dash/face vents and the defrost setting ports are connected into the original Porsche system which used to get its heat from the exhaust since it was originally air cooled and not liquid. It works great and is the most cost effective option we could come up with. Looks simple at the finish line but many hours went into coming up with a solution and ultimately making a final product.

This 69 GTO is one Pavment Poundin Pontiac! This car came in with a worn and tired 400ci and is now packing a 470ci full roller and is one stump pulling machine. Along with the engine swap we did new door and window seals, installed the rear spoiler, installed a hood tach, new heater core, new front bushings in control arms etc. This beaut has really turned into one bada** period correct hotrod! Thanks goes out to our good buddy Carl for building and supplying that big bad Pontiac engine.

Some progress on ls swap Porsche 911. We are running a drive by wire system and the first thought was to modify it and put it in the factory footwell but there just wasn’t adequate room to work or fit it without extensive mods. So we had the idea to mount it on the transmission and utilize the factory mechanical linkage!
