Hi Doc
You don't need no stinkin transfer pump.  If tanks are vented to atmosphere, 
the system will have to boil away all the water to lose cooling.  A single 
connection hose or tube between the two vented tanks is sufficient.  What 
Dave was referring to is how much water do you need.  Looking at HP/BTU/time 
and the BTU it takes to phase change the water you have, should predict how 
much water a pass will take.
For insurance connecting your ballast tank is probably a good Idea.  Also, 
if you can package the radiator laying down in the tank, cooling won't 
really be affected until almost completely empty.  I couldn't package that 
so may have to actually do the calculations.  :-d
If you can package the engine cooling system in the toe board and psgr seat 
area, that leaves the conventional radiator location for a massive charge 
air cooler.  Now the question is where do you put the ice water tank and 
still balance the weight as you want it?
