            It's time to make some space under the engine for the new
   larger
            radiator and build the inlet.

            So I have made a couple mock-ups of potential designs that will
        allow
            for the new radiator.

            I can't decide which I like better (or worse as the case may
        be), and am
            looking for input. Actually, I will just pick the one that more
        of you
            vote for, so that there will be less of you out there who are
        allowed to
            make fun of the finished product....

            I call them the "Oh Cowl" and the "Smiley Cowl..."

            Opinions?

            No Iraq veteran needs to use play dough.
            Just load this into paint and mark up the areas
            that you want changed Dave.

        Here are some 3D's of the hole cowl.

   Wow Paul,  That looks awesome!  Now if you could only get the computer
   to actually make it for me  :-)

   The voting so far is almost everyone for the Smiley type cowl.  Possibly
   because my play-doh rendition has an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Bill -
   also made from play-doh.

   I wonder how every feels about your excellent version.

   Well almost. We can make some templates and fill the
   spaces between them with foam. Block sand the foam
   and you are almost home.

   What ever is chosen I can do a final cowl and cooling
   layout.

   Here are some 3Ds with the new rad. Air goes in the
   top and out the bottom to keep the rad cool from
   the heat of the turbo.

   Are you going to keep that crappy motor mount? :) I think
   we can talk Jerry into selling a schertz beam.

Dave,

Once you get it all figured out I'll bet that Paul can create section
drawings for you to make a buck from, plus drawings for all of the
required baffles...


Matt-

Excatly :)
