For cabin heat in mine I just had a heat box on the front of the firewall that was going to go to a muff on the exhaust. There is a good amount of air in the cowl that I got enough flow without it coming from any kind of port or air scoop. I never got around to making the exhaust shroud so I was just taking under cowl air that was flowing around the cylinders and the engine and it worked fine at 10,000' between Jacksonville and Gulfport in November. Michigan in January probably would have needed the shroud.
I used two Vista Vents on the KR and I have them on the M1 also. They are certainly easy to install and they work great. A scat tube from the front of the cowl to some rotating type vents would certainly give you more air, but the Vista Vents are a great option to keep them simple.

The blue circles are where I am thinking of putting holes for cabin heat and fresh air. I am going to get carb air from the center of that slit. That slit also provides cooling for the underside of the engine. I am thinking that I may also be able to steal the heat and fresh air from either side of that area. What do you think? Take a look at the first pic at: http://kr-builder.org/Cowl/index.html If you have an opinion as to which location is better, please let me know. da...@alltel.net Off line, thanks. See you in Mt.
