It might be useful to look at the P-63 for in the wing mounted radiator
ideas.  The P-63's drag numbers were very similar to a P-51B.  For a general
look, try report No.  NASA TN D-8206

These thick rads will work fine with a 400 MPH airplane but I see
no way of getting a modern, thin, large area rad in the
wing for an airplane that climbs out at 100 MPH and having 
only 1/16th of the pressure necessary to force air through the rad.

Translate the word "header" in this attachment to "diffuser" or "inlet duct".
