Tracy Crook has pointed out in the past that the cooling during climb is not
all that important. My suggestion for oil cooling during climb is get
some 12 volt muffin fans, mount them on the oil cooler and turn them
on during climb. This appears easier for you guys to do than doing your
homework on the inlet duct design, cowl flaps and proper cooling system
fabrication :-)

Muffin fans can be problematic.  I had them on my oil cooler, and a larger
fan on the rad at one time.  In flight, the fans get driven by the scoops
and restrcit airflow quite a lot.  I pulled the fans and cooled just
fine.  FWIW -- just my experience.
