In my plane the largest radiator I could fit under the cowl and not under
the engine was an MR2 radiator. Its core size is 26 x 12. What radiators
are the high HP p port guys using? Primarily I would be looking for
size,material and number of cores.

If you used a remote fill container with the radiator cap, did you buy it
or make it? Aluminum welding isn't easy to learn and even more difficult to
have the equipment to do it in some places, so an off the shelf version
would be nice. However, if you cant get one find a way to make it. That
requires dimensions. Next time you are in the hangar, take a pic of the
cooling system and send it over. Notes help, and a measuring tape in the
picture is worth its weight in gold.

The ideal core is out of a Dodge pickup. Probably overkill.
With our asymmetric motor mount and motor plate the rad core will fit vertically
on the plug side of the engine. The turbo will also fit with the asymmetric motor
mount. I don't recommends using the stock Cont. mount.
The motor mount is the last thing to be designed. First one fits all the
major components. Then one builds the mount around them. A good 3D program
like Rhino is essential.

The stock cowl shown will work fine,
No room under the engine with a nose gear for the rad core.

Several airplanes are flying with this arrangement.
Nothing new here.

I still need the dims on the firewall hard points to finish this..

A stock Corvette pressure can works well.
