Looking good, that accessory drive really clean. I see why you want to sell that other Cosworth, this one is expensive!

That was the whole idea to pull cold air off the windshield and the vents on the hood to let the heat out...

Alot of things happening with the car since it has been up in Oregon being finished...several redos to improve the car and fix my doings...ended up having the raditor support and moving the raditor forward to create more room the pulley system and more ground clearance as possible and don't have to worry about a 3" pipe hanging below the bellhousing.
