I guess you're consider NACA ducting to provide air to both exchange heat with the radiator and to the intake charge. I was considering the fitment of either one or more radiators to the outside, while keeping the engine better enclosed, just like some Russian aircraft which had a water-cooled engine instead of an air-cooled and were supposed to be less prone to thermal shock damage while descending too fast.
