But be warned-fans are expensive, if they are possible to assist the air flow you will need.
a hood scope alone only delivers air flow during speed conditions.
Long intercooler lines and huge cores do also cause response lags.
Thought already about using the hood scope of an Mitsubishi B200, because it could be a direct bolt on at an acceptible price.
But the space below the hood...

Modern patrols in australia have a dedicated fan for the top mounted intercooler (interheater
) that switches on once the ic hits a certain temp or low range is engaged.
water to air ic's are better at soaking temp spikes than an air to air one.
water has a far greater latent heat than alloy.
its fairly straightfoward to knock one up. guy across the road put a toyota GT4 turbo water to air (from a pre 94, cheap as chips from wrecker)on his mitsubishi starion
and plumbed it up. i believe earlier subaru libertys (legacys to non aussies) have one as well.
just hook it up to a motorcycle radiator with electric pump and hey presto.
