Henry, Here is what I am doing with ducted cooling. I am using the standard VW cooling shrouds ($23/set at a VW performance shop) with a slight modification to connect to my homebuilt fiberglass ducts. The standard VW cooling shrouds will fit any displacement Beetle engine manufactured from 1939 to 2009. If you get the shrouds, get some metric screws. The VW heads have metric tapped lands to fasten the shrouds on, no mods, no muss, no fuss. All you have to do then is get air blasting into the top of the shrouds. Be sure to put the "Cool Tins" on the bottom of the cylinders. Get Cool Tins from Great Plains Aircraft Supply or the VW performance shop. Is this any help? http://websites.expercraft.com/sidwood/images/14606893384933483a906b4.jpg
