The encoder/resolver is on the back end of the altermotor. There is no room for a fan.

Rig up a belt drive fan off the front shaft/pulley. Might need a jackshaft to do it.

Oh. VW. Forgot how they work. Fan on generator. Let me check around how others do it.

edit--Ummm, why do you need air cooling if you change out the engine for an altermotor ?? Cabin heating, maybe ?
