I know someone has done it but is there any info / experiences on an
under-wing P51 style cooler?
I am thinking this is going to be the best solution to my problems as my
cowling is getting too full for comfort and I am stripping the aircraft at
present and can run some 1 1/4" pipes through the airframe easily.  Does
anyone have one flying?

Lots of stuff on this in Hoerner. None of it very good.
The graphic is for a high speed airplane (ME109) so a thick rad
could be used as the dynamic pressure is proportional
the square of speed.

What kind of airplane do you have again Peter? Do you have room in the
aft fuselage?
