Most probably haven't seen one of these so I thought Id post it here.. The Vega used an air cooled turbo hydro.. No cooling lines to radiator.. Just holes in the bell housing.

I know I've heard of these, but I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Apparently the 4 banger didn't generate enough power to stress the TH350 and GM reverted back to the early days of the powerglide that was air cooled. Does the converter have some vanes on it to act as a fan to move air too ??
