Hi, Steve....thanks for the reply and the great pictures.  I also have the
Conversion Concepts motor mount, and my oil cooler is mounted similar to
yours....laying on it's face, instead of perpendicular to the airflow.
Well, actually, I tilted it around 30 degrees or so from the horizontal
position.  My oil cooler is mounted further aft than yours, and my radiator
is the closest to the NACA duct.  My radiator is mounted perpendicular to
the airflow, so I shouldn't have any problems with the radiator getting
adequate airflow....just not so shure about the oil cooler. On the other
side of the coin, I understand that approximately 1/3 of the heat is
rejected thru the oil cooler, so I might be OK.  Thanks again for taking the
time to send pictures and description.  How close to flying might you be?
Thanks again. Paul Conner
