Paul,
Thanks for the latest RV-4 drawing.  Mike Wills and I have
discussed this layout and I think that I can fit a 12" wide by
27.0" long radiator (minus 5" for the tanks - the core will be
12" x 22.0" = 528 cubic inches) with the stock oil cooler
mounted beside the radiator.  This will make a combination oil
cooler / water radiator that is 17.5" wide.  I will expoxy the
two radiators together.  This will allow me to use a single bell
shaped diffussor for both radiators since they will be a single
unit.  Hopefully this will keep the oil cooling gremlins at bay
but I am a little worried about the water radiator keeping a 200
+HP P Port engine cool???  For that matter, I am worried about
the stock oil cooler keeping the oil cool???
