I've seen a problem similar to this that was solved rather easily. It was a
bit of a different application. It was used in a Bd-5 which had a vw engine
used in it. The owner/builder was having trouble in the taxi because it
would overheat due to both the hidden engine and the pusher prop. His
solution was to build a plenum w/ a flapper valve that would swing one way
when his aux. fans were turned on and then when they encountered ram air
pressure[T-O run].. the flapper automatically swung to use the ram pressure.
I don't know all the particulars right off the top of my head but, I do know
where the article is [ saw it on the weekend] so I'll take a look at his set
up and post the more finite details next week.
Hope this helps.. [ in more ways than one because I'm going to encounter
this on my a/c as well]

Ernest,
Getting the water to and from a remotely mounted
radiator is not as big an issue as getting enough
airflow through it while on the ground taxiing.
Chances are the engine will overheat before you even
get to the end of the runway.
How do you propose the cool the engine on the ground?
Just curious, as Kelly Troyer was comtemplating
remotely mounting his radiators too. I don't know what
he finally decided.
