Hi Paul,
        I am looking at the possibility of mounting the radiator in the area aft
of the center section spar on the right side and the oil cooler and charge
air on the left similar to Perry's oil cooler.  Small wedge inlets would be
on the bottom while cowl flaps or an opening on the top of the wing would
exhaust the hot air.  This leaves room for the muffler below and cleans up
the bottom entry air to the prop.  Will I have the problem with getting air
to flow through the system?  No exhaust augmentation would be used as space
is limited.

You could mount the rad under the right wing like this. 
Outlet on the bottom. Any shape rad will work. The thinner the better.
No scoop... no duct work at all. By just changing the mounting angle slightly 
you can increase and decrease the cooling effect. The aft part of
the rad can be in the wing. Or you could do it under the fuselage just
ahead of the landing gear. That makes the plumbing simple. I guarantee 
it to work. It uses the Kays & London wedge shaped diffuser.

I know the cosmetics are awful in this example but you 
could clean them up.

Perry has had a lot of problems getting that oil cooler to work. Could be his ducted
fan.
