Paul, How about the W arrangement in the aft fuselage for tractors?  NACA
inlet scoops.  Outlets under the horizontal stabilizor.  At one point I
thought you thought that was optimum from drag point of view.  Tom Mayer

It probably is but it is hard to fabricate and a plumbing nightmare.
I would only do that if there were no other alternatives such as
not enough room in the cowl. Perhaps a Midget Mustang or a Mustang II
qualifies in that category.  I firmly believe we need to simplify the 
plumbing by using only one rad. One of the main criticisms of
water cooled airplane engines is they are more complicated and 
less reliable than air cooled aircraft engine. One rad would go
a long way to simplify things.
