Steve;
Thanks for the link! A quick read indicates that I built an intake duct that closely matches the study example for a return flow discharge header. I can shave off the duct wall and reconfigure it to match the ideal shape for a parallel flow discharge to free stream or box header.

The following link references a study of oblique inlet shape for heat exchangers that might be a good starting point for radiator and oil cooler duct construction.  The coordinates below can be scaled for the core size to be used.
