No overheating problems.

Unless you have the hood cutouts, laying it forward any further may be counterproductive as all you've done is reduce the frontal area for the air to blow through.

Yeah, what he said. I did exactly the same thing on my '72, with I imagine the same flex-a-lite fans. It would slowly overheat in traffic before, and it literally never overheated once after the installation.
