Tony,
Mike has a intake "snorkel" on top of the cowling.

August 27, 2006 Michael Perry's First Flight!
I was very pleased to receive the following message. CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL!
Just wanted to drop you a note that N981MP, a Long Ez, made its first flight today from the Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM), Florida.
It has the EC2 and RD-1 installed on a 1988 13B. The setup is pretty much as Tracy
did on his first RV. Cut down carburetor on modified intake.
The biggest problem was putting a cooling system in the small cowl space of the Long EZ.
I used two AC condensers plus and aftermarket oil cooler for the cooling system. Used an
aftermarket oil cooler. First flight was one trip around the airport and back to landing.
The coolant temps never exceeded 180 to 190 and the Oil temp was only about 170 on the short
flight.
