Hay g ....could you(or would you have rather) have used that Nicson plate ...or was the belt-drive in the original plan ? do you have a pic of the prop ?
Doc it was a combination of the belt drive and I am going to try and run a heat exchanger using anti freeze in the block loop instead of running lake water in the engine. I am just running lake water through the heat exchanger tubes only. I am hoping I can control my engine temp a little better this way and keep corrosion out of the block and heads. I had originally looked into a cover like yours and was having trouble locating one. I found listings but when I called came up empty. I will try and dig up a picture of the prop. It is a 11x17 3 blade cleaver for a hydro. Got it from Tom Bentley at Menkins V-drive.
g ....we have some same thoughts but my combo will be a bone-stocker 2.2 4-banger compared to yours. 
I was thinking about a small radiator and yes using antifreeze instead of lake water. Because of the potential of corrosion yes ... but I am not a fan of the potential "shock" of the cold lake water on the block and heads. BTW ...what is the cooling "factor" of having the motor out in the open like that?
My plans are to cut those "ears" off that plate(and OF COURSE save them) ...and then use a STD water pump ... but waaaay slow-up the speed of that WP.

THAT is a real common practice now(I hear) ...with most of the Pro Stock cars.
HOW MUCH of the block is "filled" ?

Yea it is popular in outlaw radial and 275 radial to run ice water from intercooler through the motor and not use a raditor.
