  Here is a couple other photos of the cooling system.
  I went to eastern Oregon yesterday and in 95 degree temps the oil
temp was 150 and water was 180 on a long hard climb out.

Nice fan you have on the back side of the rad Ken.
If you make a new longer cowl with a smaller hole you might
cut the drag a bit without affecting the cooling and up the top speed. 
I think the hole  size is a bit overkill.
