Ha... i have a car rad in the back of my car right now that I was going to run cold water through to cool my living room. It seems like a good plan. You say the creek was feeding your system well? What if you just buried an open-topped box in the creek with 3-4 parallel car rads and make it a closed system?? If it works well, add some antifreeze or "Water Wetter" to the system to improve its heat transfer ability. This is brilliant, by the way, kudos.
