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.

I will confirm the dims of the mounting points today after the sun comes up.
The stock Cont mount has a few more bars than some of the other mounts, but
the only ones that are in the way are the ones for the retractable nose
gear brackets.
I am holding out hope that I will be able to make the retracts work at some
point. Now that I have the radiator mock up in the cowl, the tubes aren't
in the way much at all.

I cant get a Dodge truck radiator in the cowling- 14 inches high is about
the max and be able to close the hood. The MR2 rad gives me a few inches
either end, and room above and below tor get my hands around it.

I can incorporate the retracts into the design.

There is plenty of room behind the eng for the nose gear.
If  you still have the Viking gear send me some pictures.
I may be able to use it.
