I think 1970 is too late. By then the road racing industry had figured out that downforce improved lap times more than streamlining did. By 1964 the writing was on the wall--smooshing the tires onto the road was more important than going fast down the straightaway. For us ecomodders, the straightaway speed per hp is what matters.
And you guys have convinced me--I'll try 20 square inches for the radiator inlet.
