Inspired by Harpo, I went ahead and blocked 3 of the 4 slots of my upper grill with black pipe insulator.

Since I completely blocked the bottom grill, all I have now for airflow is the small slot at the bottom of the upper grill. Oddly, there was not the slightest increase in engine temp vs no block at all.
