I'm not exactly sure what you mean, "late Tiger fresh air vents".
If you mean the vents in the front fenders; that is a LAT-41 option, Air
Exit Vents For Engine Compartment. The stock Tigers never had these vents.
There is a good deal of fabrication needed to put fresh air vents on
a Tiger. Personally, I'm not sure how well they work and I think they
detract from the clean lines of the car. Possibly a vent style like the
'57 T-bird would be more acceptable to me but it is your car and you need to
make that decision. I believe the '57 vents opened into the driver/
passenger area. That would put more air flow where I would want it but that
would only work on cool days. Hot Florida days require insulation of the
floor to keep engine heat out; A/C to keep the driver cool.
I would read the TE/AE article on cooling first. Great information
that should make the engine of any Tiger run cooler.

Subject: fresh air vents in early Tiger
Guess this has been covered before, but whatbs involved in putting late
Tiger fresh air vents in early car. Is this frowned upon? After driving this
Doane Spencer car for the last couple of days I am becoming more interested
in fresh air vents on my car, as it is hot in Florida in the summer.
