[DeTomaso] engine cover fan gizmo

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Chris, a large percentage of the air going thru the radiator and under the 
car is sucked out that rear opening. The area above the rear deck is at a low 
pressure air-flow-wise and the faster you go, the more air is pulled up and out 
the hole. Photos made 30 years ago of Panteras at the Dry Lakes and Bonneville 
show a giant rooster-tail maybe 30 ft high trailing the car from the rear 
window area, at high speeds. So I'd think that whatever you use for fans would 
need to pull an awful lot of air or they'll just become flow-limiters. Perhaps 
its effect will be mostly felt at around town speeds. As far as looks, I had an 
air-to-oil cooler mounted in the screen for several years before I decided 
the thing was too small and was doing nothing to earn its keep. Good luck in 
your testing- J DeRyke
