Hi Paul, I just finished the top engine cowl mold and getting ready to do
the bottom half. It will have integral P-51 type scoop. The question is what
size opening will be adequate to cool everything? My plan is to have all
cooling cores getting air from the same chamber under the engine, and the
hot air going around the turbo and out, augmented by the exhaust.
On the other side I will have a electric blower for extra cooling if needed.

25% to 30% of the frontal area of the rad you intend to use.
Height times width.
