I'm sure I've seen power conversations for cowl vents offered somewhere. I made one for my 46 many years ago out of a power headlight motor. Works ok but is slow.

Oh yea! I remember PAW well. Moon as well. Engine turning is about as classic and timeless as it gets. Good for just about any year of build. If it was good enough for Bugatti, it's plenty good...

Congrats on the win! Looks great on the engine. It would, however, look much better sitting on top of a 6-71 blower. Just sayin', of course!:D
