Thermosiphon will work but it may run hot, although I can't say for sure as I have never ran a water cooled cylinder and head.

At least you picked a good radiator to use. The height of the Banshee radiator allows for plenty of cooling time before the water recirculates back to the top end.

As far as using a wiper pump out of a Cadillac I would advise against it. Those pumps were not meant to have water that gets up to 200 degrees running through them. I would suggest an auxiliary water pump out of a Mercedes Benz.

Talked to a three wheeler guy who runs a cammex like mine. He just uses thermo siphon.
