If you drew up a diagram for cutting out the sheet metal pieces, please post it up!
Everything is still in its stock location. It's a Koyo OEM-replacement Al radiator and I've ripped out everything else. I even relocated the wiring harness so it runs underneath the upper radiator support instead of along that cross member.

I have some of the templates I used but it wouldn't be too hard to take measurements off the duct itself since it's a bunch of rectangles and triangles.

You'd be amazed at how much more efficient everything cools now...
If anything, it might be too cold!

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done...

Too cold, huh? That's not a problem I figured I'd have. My first engine fell victim to overheating so I want to make sure that never happens again. If it becomes an issue I can make some plates to restrict the inlet area.
