Guys,
Thank you all for all the very good input. Based on what I am hearing is that at worst they are decoration. At best with proper baffling and directing ram air they may possibly lower engine and engine compartment temps. A engine fire extinguisher appears to be a good thought as well as any ram air will fan a fire which may already have plenty of fuel.
I believe I will construct air duct/baffle's out of aluminum sheet goods and flexible leading edges at the grill. I hate to cut but I may install the shark vents and I will put the plastic wheel wells back in to take care of road debris.
Jim H. After military service I ended up as an automotive adjuster for 2 company for several years. I remember a dear collision where I even had to replace the Dear Whistles. Both the owner and I laughed at the thought, but it was a way I could get more money to the owner. I am Sure he appreciated it and most likely he never replaced the Dear Whistles. Life is Good.
