Excellent thread. As I live in the desert, I will be installing the cooling modification, and I appreciate the ideas. Worth considering:
Two rows of cooling louvers on top of the bonnet. This will prevent negative pressure inside the bonnet, and fan cavitation. (Cool look, enhancing the aft-placed louvers on more recent models).
Fan placement behind the faux-grille with addition of NACA- styled matte black circular duct (composite material) ahead of grille, in order to accelerate air flow toward cylinders.
Reversible function for directing warm air to crew in cold Wx.
