I think the point is to use the exhaust as an entrainment nozzle for the
cooling air.  This works great in the case that the exhaust is placed in
the cooling duct BEHIND the radiator.  There is a guy with a Long-EZ and a
4 cylinder auto engine doing just this.  It was in one of the Central
States newsletters about 2 years ago.  If I remember he could keep the
whole thing cool on the ground running at about 75% throttle.  SO, givien
this scenario, he could decrease the inlet size and get effective cooling
with less drag than other systems.

Works great when the engine is in the back.....
