I made my radiator.
the matrix is 24.8x12.4" it is leaning at 30deg forward at the top.
it is alloy and 2 row only,I would have to measure but I think it may only be 35-40 wide.

I wouldnt even bother with brass radiators as they will never get the heat away like alloy.
My car has not hit the road yet but I have made another for a GT40 and it works very well.

Ducting I have always used the rule of thumb 1/3 area in 2/3 area out, area being the radiator size.
I gather you will have to make your exit vents = 2/3 your radiator to let it out.
I am proberbly telling you what you already know.
