When I bought my car, it did not have a rain tray installed on the engine bay cover. I was going to buy one, but now I'm building a 2366 and want to do everything I can to keep it cool. Are there any cooling benefits to not having a rain tray? If I don't add one, how do I stop water from getting in the engine?

My next project is going to be to fabricate a lightweight tray with appropriately located drain holes to meet the stock funnels. If successful, I will either find a source for a vacuum formed replication process / or simply rebuild others if cost feasible and a demand arises.
My concept is to have four or more clips (like the 993's undercarriage drip pans) so that it secure when in use but can easily come off and be stored until, on the rare occasion, one or two rain clouds pass over SoCal, scaring the crap out of everyone here not from Louisiana... I also agree with solving the side vent intake areas as well / have to think about that as I get closer to a workable solution. See you guys at the BS Swap Meet on the 11th.....
