Yes, get the heat off the motor into the water, then to a radiator where the sir has to remove the heat... Circular logic as the water is now air cooled, not the motor. Might as well add the weight that you would have with all of the water cooling up, and make a giant heatsink for the motor.
Real car water cooling setup only works well due to volume of water and forced air cooling of the radiator, and the increased surface area the fins afford.
Watercooling is just a bad idea for vehicles. It only works well in boats due to the fact that you have an ass load of water and at 20+ mph flow is quite high.
