I also have the Conversion Concepts motor mount, and my oil cooler is mounted similar to yours....laying on it's face, instead of perpendicular to the airflow. Well, actually, I tilted it around 30 degrees or so from the horizontal position. My oil cooler is mounted further aft than yours, and my radiator is the closest to the NACA duct. My radiator is mounted perpendicular to the airflow, so I shouldn't have any problems with the radiator getting adequate airflow....just not so shure about the oil cooler. On the other side of the coin, I understand that approximately 1/3 of the heat is rejected thru the oil cooler, so I might be OK. Thanks again for taking the time to send pictures and description. How close to flying might you be? Thanks again. Paul Conner
