Hi John,
There are no ballpark figures, only arguments about them :
)
FWIW, I am using a Sam James cowl with 5" round inlets
and fervently hope that they will cool my 20B.

inlets
I am modifying the cowling for the
Tailwind. The air inlet holes are 2 5/8"s x 7.5"s for a total
of app. 21.5 sq. inches. x 2 for a total of 43. I am
looking at a 5 inch round hole which is the size that Same James is using
for the O-320's, which would make the diffusers easier to
fabricate. The round 5 " hole has approximately 19.3 sq
inches x 2 for 38.6 sq. inches total, if my math is right. Is
this a ball park figure for the water coolers (GM evaporators) on the
Mazda 13 B engine.
