Sounds like it should work in your application, Paul.  There is no question
in my mind (and calculations ) that size radiator will easily cool you at
Cruise even with 160HP.  My pleasure, trying to help figure this all out
forces me to do some research and head scratching which keeps the old
neurons refreshed {:>)

Just get in the air safely and that will be return enough.
