To a streamliner guy, that looks like a lot of room. Just glass the tail up & turn it into an ice water tank with the radiators inside.

Good idea, that is going to be on my to do list.

You old guys sure are smart. :-D

FWIW;

I built a cooling radiator tank. It worked way better than I expected. I ran it this morning. Thanks for the help.

Its good that works for you, now.  I ran the rear side mounted radiators (inside a Charlie Toy tail) in 2010 using SPAL low profile fans.  These blow pretty hard (paired they pop a 20a fuse at start up :-o).  With a separate, dedicated battery it almost cooled the engine.  The temp needle didnt completely disappear until just before the 3 mile.  The engine did survive, probably because I dont make a lot of power compared to modern stuff.

I had a full inner fender to keep wheel airflow from messing up the fans/radiators, but it was still NG.

You have a neat project!
Regards, JimL
