Ernest,
I am still planning on remote radiators but not as far to the rear of the Delta as you have indicated. I plan on mounting a GM evaporator on each
side of the a/c to the rear of the firewall between the second and third rib
inboard of the Delta centersection. the large 9.5"x13" evaporators fit very
well here. I am using a NACA report on radiators buried in wings from the 1940's to size, shape and position the inlets and outlets. I will use alum.
tubing and short hose connectors. Not sure of what size yet but will be larger than 5/8" but smaller than 2". I am leaning toward 1.25" or 1.5". I am considering running the alum tube inside a duct that I can put
cooling air through.

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.
