Seriously though - this made the car run WAY too hot. I was able to drive it long enough (one set -2-way - coast-down test) to determine it DID cut it's drag quite a bit, though...

You will need a bigger opening than that. Best way to go for the opening is right in the centre, relatively low. If you can do some ducting between the opening and the rad. Also, does the fan have a fan shroud? I had problems with my 70 El Camino wanting to overheat in traffic, a fan shroud totally fixed that.
