If ity were me, I'd do what the old P/S cars did. They simply ran a piece of sheetmetal from the framerail to the fender with the edge bent-over so as to bolt the piece to the fender. Since they used coilovers, they simply notched the sheetmetal to accomodate the upper mount. This provided them with extra room (since there were no contours) yet kept air from getting caught in the engine bay as you're concerned with.If you look at many of the early 70s P/S mopars (Motown MIssile, Herb McCandless's Demon, etc.)they were done this way. Since these were factory cars, obviously someone, somewhere did the research to find & figure out it was necessary to isolate the engine bayand since you ARE talking speeds similiar to early P/S type cars, this fix seems applicable
