Andy,
agree. I started the project not worrying about how stock or original it was. it was already a frankenstien. wanted the look and feel of a modified 930 in a somewhat raw state and track capable. if I had done the 3.3 my expectation was 400hp, so a 430hp LS3 is the plan. not really interested in max HP. and hoping the car will be <2500lb wet when done.

I had a long discussion with Renegade Hybrid yesterday. my current thinking, thanks to Steve Wiener, to put 3 radiators in the front behind a 934 valance all with fans. Valance but not the 934 extended flares. my car is a slant nose so not much room under the headlight, but there is space behind the 934 valance. they do not know of a customer who did this but they expect I could get enough cooling this way. it was a surprise some time ago when I learned the 934 was oil/water cooled. I told RH I did not want to go their route of turning most of the frunk into a radiator and housing, and keep stock gas tank, etc. As I was planning for a big oil cooler in the front, cut out the front of the frunk to weld in an RSR deflector panel for the oil cooler. it still needs to be welded in place. and per Steve, the 934 valance has a lot of room on both corners for smaller radiator that would just vent to the wheel wells. and if this is not enough cooling for track/DE could add a small radiator under the whale tail. the guy I am interracting with put the radiator in the tail under the whale tail with fans. so far works fine for him.

still a lot of analysis and decisions to make but moving ahead with this plan.
