Update: I'm working with two HVAC companies to quote fabricating the oil cooler ducting I modeled. Seemed like the best option for a speedy turnaround.
I hoped to remove the crash beam so I can cut out all the radiator support that's blocking ~60% of the coolers. I thought it was just remove headlights and 4 nuts on each side, but appears to be a rivet that I assume is to indicate if the car has body work completed. Argh I could access the top two but need a 12" long bit or to refine a bunch more crap. Anyone have experience removing this?
Plan is to then design a single side duct that slopes down from the beam at the kidneys.
Ordered some high temp silicone gasket seals and silicone blocks to use on the end of the ducting to press against the coolers. Also a thick piece will be used to seal the gap at the top between the AC condenser and the support. It'll block off ~ 2.5" off the top of the radiator but I'm certain nothing I'd passing through anyhow given the hood vents.
