<VV> Electric cooling fan results

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Well, if you drove a Corvair at 200 MPH, it might work!! It's not prop  wash, 
its ram air that cools aircraft engines.

Maybe  the experts can clarify something about re the fan discussion.  I  
understand that Corvair powered aircraft have no fan, but use the propeller  wash 
and/or air speed to force air over the engine.  So if Corvairs had  their 
engines in the front where air would be forced over the engine by the  car's 
forward motion, would an electric fan suffice for low speed driving  needs?  Is 
this the theory of other front engined cars?  (Not that I  plan to change my 
Corvairs engine location of  course).
