A lot of poeple have installed water cooled engine but most have serious cooling issues. I'm trying to get as much info as possible in order to reduce the risk of ending up with a setup that will not work.
Most of the knowledge surrounding watercooling got lost after WWII, so this is why I'm looking here.
Thanks guys, keep it coming if you have more info, all is very appreciated.

Pusher with a liquid cooled engine is a proven design -- proven to never have adequate cooling. You could make history and be the 1st one to solve it.
SAAB tried:

A total of 298 SAAB 21s were produced in five production batches. They served from 1946 to 1954.
Series aircraft were not without problems. Because of the propeller's placement, engine cooling proved to be inadequate, especially on the ground - a serious problem that was never really worked out.
