This is Gary Spencer's very fast, well over 200 MPH, Ford V8 powered Long EZ
direct drive. Gary enters a lot of cross country air races here in the West.

Gary reports he is limited, due to inadequate cooling, in top speed at 
air temps over about 80 degrees F. We did not discuss climb out speeds
or climb out cooling.

He is using a modern large area relatively thin radiator but
the air comes in from the bottom and the engine oil pan is partially
blocking the exit air from the rad.
