You should be able to get around the cooling issue by nicking a water/water heat exchanger from a marine engine. To pump it, you'd use an impeller pump fitted to the aux belt. As far as intercooling goes, you could use another heat exchanger working on a similar procedure.
Most marine diesels, especially in workboats, rarely cruise at more than 2500 rpm, with max rpm being around 3800.
The gearbox.. i know that transit lumps are often marinized, why not have a look at what they are using?
I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work out, if money is no object, then just work out what you want and custom build it at any cost!
