Replacing/fabricating the air dams/ducting so the air is directed through the radiator I think is one of the last pieces of the puzzle.

The Spal fans and shroud make a big difference, but a LOT of air can go around and above the radiator without the air dams in place.
No company has thought to fab air dams for this? They'd sell well, too. Or is it a custom fab thing?

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.
