You could look at outboard motors as a starting point. In the past I
read of someone using a Mercury to get 100 hp in an aircraft.


That seems unlikely, to be honest. I've never met an outboard that wasn't
cooled by pumped water.

There have been other uses of outboards that involved using a car-type
cooling system, with a radiator. A Bobsy SR2 sports-racing car of the 1960s
was very successful in the H-modified class using a Mercury outboard. I
think that was a 750 cc class.
