I've never heard of a fan like that. I'd like to see one. It sounds like it would work better. Is this the same one that is operated by a switch?

They are good cars. I used to have a '81 924 Turbo.
Oh another thing I forgot to say in the PM. Earle said: "Tell him I stuffed a chevy in a porsche, so nothing is impossible.".

We probably should. Right now the car's waiting in their yard, mechanic yard, which is rather small. Plus the mustang is our only drivable car right now. The 928 has registration probs, the porsche he's putting the chevy in is going to be his "ricer". He'sgoing to have a porsche that'll look like a ricer car, but it'll actually be good, that's the point anyhow. My 924 got impounded, accsidentally, and the other 924 we have is sitting in storage, needs breaks and gas lines fixed, plus it's stick, I can only drive auto. So, basically, this is the only thing we have.
BTW, he lost his lisence, suspended, he got 2 speeding tickets in his 928.
