Sadly, an engine swap is not possible because of legality reasons. I wanted to swap in a VW TDI but hit a brick wall with the local DMV equivalent...
In regards to cooling, I can easily block a large chunk of the grille since I now have a 2.5" core radiator instead of the stock 1.5" core. Extra cooling in the summer heat helps.
The airdam will be simple, should be done in a couple of hours and removable. My front bumper is getting all kinds of work, welding and grinding to get the intercooler and oil cooler ducting built so a couple more holes to attach an airdam are nothing.
