RedPhoenix: I wont go for 8 fans right away, 4 in push to begin with.
Hmmm, minor suggestion - Per some of BillA's articles, axial fans will move more volume when pulling air through a core than they will blowing into it... Also I hope you are planning to use shrouds to make your fans as efficient as possible.

Not sure - check Airspirit's heater core data base to find out. I've tried making a list of single pass cores and my list doesn't show anything that big in both dimensions, but I may have missed something. Of course, with a core as big as you're talking about, you might almost be getting into the small car engine rad size range. (FWIW every car rad I've seen has been single pass)
