Rusty, Increase the radiator thickness to around 4"(this is why Tracy's airplane works so well) and your cowling clearance problems will go away.
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.
