I need to waterproof the motor

The rainy season has begun! I need to finish the splash guard under the motor. Then there are the stupid vents from above so the rain can sort of fall inside the motor. That makes me real angry. I think I might just seal up the vents. Also, I need to get a big forced air blower thing that will keep the motor cooler. I think it's a bit undersized, since it's sometimes pretty hot after quite a bit of driving.

I'm taking it over to a high school auto shop nearby since they are talking about EV's right now.
