Has  anyone used (for street or racing) a system sorta like a carb in   
reverse--using exhaust gas in a Venturi-like setup to draw cooling air  
through  the 
engine; this might take a load off the fan and reduce  the need for high fan  
HP.

Scotty - Pick up a copy of Mackerle's "Air cooled Automotive Engines" He  has 
the diagrams and shows some applications of that exact design.  As I 
remember, it was also used in some stationary motors where the exhaust  outlet puffed 
through the middle of the outlet cooling air chamber, pulling  cooling air 
over the motor. 
 
Maybe the Corvair motor could use two reversed stock "short" logs, aimed  out 
the back of the full original shrouding with the doors and thermostats  
removed. A little extra shrouding work at the back to create the semi-venturi  and 
pull the cooling air through. At least it wouldn't be too hard or expensive  
to try.
