Two things Kelly. Those configurations are pre K&M (1942) and assume a non swept
back leading edge so be prepared for less than optimum performance.
In fact the air could just decide to go sideways instead of in the
scoop and through the rad. The Dyke Delta has highly swept back leading edges.
Don't shoot me. I am just the messenger :)

      So noted Paul. There will probably be some loss of inlet pressure because
 of the swept leading edges. May have to carry the NACA tests to the next step.
      I have space to incorporate the K&M bell shaped inlet duct design and may
 have to modify inlet design.

The Brits built a comercial jet with the engines in the wings.  Maybe there would be some
information on that design and how it might apply to getting air into your radiator inlet.  It
believe it was the Dehaviland Comet.

Not the same thing. Jet engines suck. Also as I recall the Comet had intakes
perpendicular to the air flow direction.
