In the end I will likely angle them a bit but my primary concern is if it is
ok to install these radiators in the vertical orientation. I have the space
up and down to use them this way. The nose bowl I have seems to work well
with things set up that way.

Michael,
The front adds significantly to the flat plate drag and anything you can
do
to reduce that affects the total drag. Are you happy with the front width,
could it be reduced with some angle on the rads?
