Paul,

Attached is a picture of a crossflow radiator like I was considering.
Notice that the tanks are on the ends rather than on top/bottom
configuration.  This one is for a Lincoln (model not specified).  Here are
the specs per the Summit Racing web site.  Something around this size could
be made to fit in a fore/aft configuration inside my Lancair cowl.  I was
thinking of converting two of these into a cross-counterflow design.  Two of
these would give 2.7 cu. in. of core per hp.  The question is would two 7"
inlets (77 sq. in.) feed enough air to cool 375 hp?

With that said, I saw a picture of a turbo-prop Columbia 400 on the EAA
website today that I really like the looks of the cowl, and very low drag.
I sure would like to be able to do something like that for my rotary ES.
The only thing I can think of is to put the radiator on the firewall and use
a wedge shaped plenum.  (You did a sketch like this for a Legacy a while
back.)  Now back to reality...

Looks good. Use two back to back in a counter cross flow configuration
on the right side of the engine.  I think a single 10 inch diameter inlet
would work OK if you have a nice set of cowl flaps you can open
to suck the air out the back side through the right side of the
cowl.  Keep the oil cooler as is on the other side.

Pointy noses are over rated as far as drag is concerned :)
