that ideal isn't practical, but I was planning on sealing the sides of the block right to the radiator. the top part of the grill isn't sealed straight to the radiator, but curves.

the cavity starts the full size of the grill then is reduced by shrouds. I would block the grill down to the size of the radiator, maybe a little smaller, and shroud it straight to the grill. thoughts?

the thoroughness of the air sealing on this car is top notch, the open top of the intake trough seals right to the hood, and the air intake picks up from the end, it's just that I would think the way they reduced it after the grill is suboptimal

the only place not sealed well is the bottom of he whole cavity, and possibly the sides of the cavity, I can't see them well. the bottom is right behind a big ol air dam, so I don't know how much sealing it would help.
