In terms of space there was still a good three inches from the engine to what would be the cooling air ducts. the rib for the air bellows was gone and the tunnel was sealed via welding a panel in. In terms of cooling he did it the right wayand has a tray that is (very much like our tin is attached) screewed into place on top of the corvair fan shroud, and ducts up to the rear trunk lid where a seal matched with the lid and Viola! nice clean cool air.
A buddy of mine who lives where I came from back in california has a corvair motor in his buggy, its been a great strong little engine that hasnt needed a rebuilt since it came from the factory... but he plans one in the near future. its mated up Via KEP conversion plate, the tranny is reverse spun kind of a expensive way to do it but thats the way his dad did it (the original builder back in the 60's, uses a 54 Bug pan shortened by about a foot) the only problem he's had was when i showed him some nice fun jumps out in the desert in my friends baja bug.... he had to do it in his buggy.....
