Reply to "Engine & compartment paint schemes..."

Remember that (enough) fresh air has to find a way in there too. There has to be enough airflow to feed the fan, carbs and remove radiated heat from the engine itself out of the engine compartment. A higher revving bigger type 1 engine uses way more air than a stocker. I've heard of engines dying in (other) fiberglass cars in as little as 3-4,000 miles because the engine was starving for air.
