  This is the approach Neil used on his failed experiment with his Lancair 
and Setrab oil/water exchanger. Maybe his problem was due to airflow 
issues, but the arguments I've heard against extremely thick radiators make 
good intuitive sense to me. If at all possible I'd attempt to gain core 
volume by increasing frontal area before adding thickness.
