Thanks for the responses.
I think this is a brilliant idea, Dean, just to see what you see. Please be sure to report back with some photos after you play with it a while.

At high RPM, if there is any restriction in the radiator tubes at all, you should be able to see the coolant level in this tube go down, compared to the level at low/idle RPM. I'd like to know by how much.

Fun and games!
