Hi John,
I have two evap cores attached to the motor mount plate and angled back
about 60 degrees. The first photo shows one radiator installed and
the second show the plumbing between the two. The water cooling sort
of works, but my real problem is the oil cooling. The back side of the
oil cooler is about 5 inches from the MM plate. The top of the cooler
is just below the starter. There just isn't enough room to let the air
flow thru it.
The other nightmare I've had with this setup is - what if something
shorted the starter cable to the oil cooler? Sparks and 80 psi oil
spewing out would make one hell of a fireball. (I have a vivid
imagination.)
I'm going to get some time in the air while the weather is cool, and
redo the cooling system this spring.

Bob; What is the set up on your radiators. I'm working on my installation and planning on the round holes within one inch of the prop and with diffusers. Hole diameter is planned at 4 3/4"s. I have the 2 1/2" x 10" opening with diffuser like Ed has for the oil cooler. JohnD
