   I realize you are planning to put your rad under
the engine. So was I, but after I mounted the engine
there wasn't as much room under it as I had hoped. I
felt it would be difficult to mount a rad plus feed
the oil cooler plus the inter cooler from below. So I
used the top NACA scoops. Not the factory diminsions
as they are not true to the formula. I plotted the
curves and cut two scoops on the top. Each one goes
directly into a triangular fiberglass plenum upon
which is hung a GM airconditioner evaporator core into
which I had welded two #12 AN bungs. I'm using one
armpit scoop tho feed the intercooler and the other to
feed the oil cooler.
I'm still fabricating but it looks like it will work
out great with not too much drag.
   Just one more way to do it.
                               John
