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
). 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!
