Baily Edwars Cars (next to Volkspares) makes a nice replica of the 917 for 6-cylinder Porsche engines

But the PRICES :shock:

eg.
They've been busy with that fan setup for a while now, they actually copied the fan setup that is on Ollie's 964 engine. (also in a 917 replica). I'm not sure if they actually got the fan design right yet as the one on Peter's 917 exploded on our dyno (at about 4000rpm!!! throwing carbon fiber shards everywhere) . I think they went back to the std Porsche cooling again :)
