Should be.
My exhaust cooled Gamefisher had a small impeller installed exactly like a water cooled engine.

Would depend on the year and hp some have the impeller others a pickup tube that gets water from the prop wash.Motors are generally unreliable and finicky.

Parts availability for the air-cooled Clintons and Eskas is hit-and-miss.
?air-cooled? is fitted at many of the Clintons and Eskas with water pumps which cooled the motor?s ?leg? and the bottom of the engine block.

Your 5.5 is 10 times the motor as the Eska/Clintons.
