Tom,
On the second subject, you should take a look at the CORSA Technical Guide or 
my book, The Classic Corvair. Both of these dicuments list the "Lab Tests" 
done by Chevrolet on temperature changes resulting from removing the lower 
shrouds (plus the results of other attempts to lower engine temperatures). There is 
your proof!

On the first subject, in my opinion, that might be a piece of information. A 
data point, but NOT conclusive evidence. I would want to know how this was 
measured, Were the test conditions the same for both tests, the conditions under 
which the temeratures were  measured, and the ambient temperatures for all 
tests. And not to question a person's integrity, but I'd also like to have a 
witness to verify the results.
