Carrol Smith who was one of Shelbys team engineers determined that by tilting any radiator at about a 15 degree angle increased the efficiency by presenting the cooling fins differently to the incoming air. This is discusssed at length in Carroll Smiths excellent book "Prepare to Win". Think about it; that is how all the radiators are packaged in open wheel cars ruch as Indy, F-1 etc.
