That would be ideal, unfortunately, it wouldn't fit.

So I'm building a custom shroud out of fiberglass, to use it in that exact position. It'll suck air from the front, and exhaust it backwards, through the rad.

The only issue I have with this setup is that it's a brushed motor. A brushless motor would be highly preferable. A motorized impeller (motor inside the wheel) would be perfect, but I have yet to find one for a reasonable price.
