  I think most cars that ran hood louvers on the race tracks back in the
'60's were built with small in-line 4 cylinders nad then stuffed with V8s,
ie., Sunbeam Tigers, Cobra's, and some Austin-Healey 100s.  Their problem
was that the motor blocked air from exiting through the tunnel and the rear
of the engine comartment.  Louvers allowed air to get out.  But on a
roadster, with it's in-line four, 1600 or 2000, louvers should not be
necessary.  In act, allowing the air flow to exit through louvers could
allow the tranny to over heat.

My $0.02 (and probably worth less!)
