    Good project. From what I remember, this marine version looks similar to the farm ones I used to see as a kid in the late 40s and early 50s. It reminds me of the one used on what was called an elevator that took sheaves of corn up to the top of a thresher.

    need to build a proper trolly for it soon, the trolly I have now is not up to the job, I'll start that next week.

    here's what the cooling system will look like

    I have a very course pitch fan which has a high CFM to RPM ratio ( from a hydraulic power pack) the radiator is the heat exchanger from an old hydraulic power pack which the fan was part of.

    the fan will be attached to the flywheel by the means of some threaded rod screwed into the centre of the crankshaft. the alignment will be critical hence a proper Ridgid trolly will be needed as the fan will sit inside the shroud drawing air from a predetermined gap like an impeller pushing the air out through the heat exchanger.
