I was wondering, can an engine made for a boat be used on land with a small radiator?
it would ROCK if someone knew anything about the Albin AD 2, i'll throw that out there in case anyone does.
basically i want to get this 2 cylinder 20hp Albin diesel engine to be usable on land for a little project of mine, but i'm not familiar enough with temps and such to tell if i could simply hook it up to a small radiator as seen on this Briggs and Stratton diesel:

the only main difference would be i'd have to add an electric fan. that B&S engine has a clutch or continuous type. i suppose that could get expensive huh? i dont know.
What am i using it for?
A gokart. maybe. i dont know enough but i think it COULD rock...but not if its going to burn up.
I think this motor was made in the 80's, and its got a raw water pump to pull water from whatever the boat/sailboat is floating in, so naturally i'd need to add a radiator and possibly a fan. i need to figure out if i can and if its cheap/easy.
