I don't see cooling being an issue. There will plenty of air flow regardless what direction it moving...
A Cessna 337 Skymaster/Super Skymaster has two identical Teledyne-Continental IO-360 engines... The rear engine of this set requires expensive maintenance twice as often, even though it is used mainly in flight... This only happens due to inferior cooling of the pusher engine. It is also more likely to fail.
Dar,
Are you sure you don't mean the Cessna "Mixmaster"

Well at least that's what the folks I know call'em.
