[Healeys] BN1 Questions

[Steven Kingsbury]

I saw this car some years ago in either Tahoe or Jackson. The gentleman who owned the car at the time, could still be the same guy, but anyway, I asked him about the fan set up and he claimed it worked great at extracting hot air from the engine compartment and kept his car running cool. I had just added a marine fan at the time on my car that blew cold air directly on the carbs. 
   If I remember correctly, the air from the engine was blown down to the ground and the hot air was "sucked" out of the engine compartment. Never saw a set up like that before and this is the first time I've seen it since.

This looks to be a really nice BN1 FS in the Sacramento area. Couple
things I haven't seen before:

1) What is the rectangular block-shaped piece at the joint of oil pan
and the bellhousing? Something particular to BN1s?

2) Is that a fan mounted on the underside near the passenger footwell
(pretty sure this can't be stock)? Is this yet another way to ventilate
the engine compartment?
