Yes, that is a 911 fan setup. I made my own design and mold. I had the fan pedestal cast and it works fairly well. The car is a Vintage Speedster Replica that I built 10 years ago. I replace the original 1776-cc Type I engine I built with another engine that I built. It is a 2110-cc Type I engine fed by two Weber 44 IDF carbs. To control the valvetrain, I employ a Webcam 122/125 split duration camshaft and stock rockers with genuine 911 adjusters. I made my own linkage and I am using some of the produced air to also cool my oil and to provide interior heating. The ignition is done via a Mallory centrifugally advanced dizzy. I'l try to post more pictures as soon as I can.
