I guess my concern would be that with a normal engine you are mainly blocking a radiator that cools the engine only and a little bit of extra heat on the engine is probably no big deal. However in the FEH you are also blocking the A/C coil for the battery and the coolant coil for the electronics pack. They may be more sensitive to an overheating condition and are very expensive..... They are under warranty, but if you block the front of the radiator, the warranty would definitely be invalid if Ford knows about it.
