John,
I stand to be corrected but the FIA and IMSA had different requirements. If I remember correctly, IMSA required the motors to be air cooled for GTP but Gp C allowed water cooling- and the heads were. The rads were in the side pods adjacent to the doors, with the oil coolers and intercoolers.
As for the extra size, it shouldn't be too hard to squeeze a longer motor into a 962/956. Have you ever seen their bellhousings? They're about 15" long. It's the gold colored thing in this photo:

I SO want one to go with my 40!
