Hi Guys, A couple years ago we took a 914/Chev back to stock for a customer. I then decided to build a 283 powered car for myself. I would like to avoid the huge cutouts in the wheelhouse. has anyone mounted a fan on the trunk floor, possibly with the 2 fans already on the radiator? This would be great for an already AC cut trunk floor. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks! Brad

Very timely topic for me, I just started designing my radiator mount today. I've been dead set against cutting my fenderwells ever since I decided to go with a water cooled engine. I was going to louver the trunk floor but I'm not happy with that much air being directed under the car. Then I see this and I'm back to thinking I want a hood vent.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1138231220.jpg) Question: With the targa top off does the hot air get dumped in the cabin? Someone a few years ago told me this was the case so I started looking at other options. Nice work wbergtho! |
