The fans may be 44CFM each, but unlikely that they'd be pushing that much air-flow through the 1.75" thick radiator.
Still, what you're proposing is potentially possible, but I'd still want to know what the actual heat load is before I believe it to be anything more than a guess.
Still, when it comes to radiators, surface area rules all, and you've definitely shown that to be true.

Heat Load - Agreed. Do you think my estimates are off?
Airflow - Agreed. As I stated, the airflow of 190cfm is unrestricted airflow.

OK, no worries!

It's an actual car radiator from, I believe, an 1980's Renault 18. I can't stand the price / performance ratio of PC WCing rads and this one was £10 from Ebay. I just needed to fit barbs to it and make a shroud. Luckily, I didn't need it to fit in a case!
