Some of those steel garden wheelbarrow pans make nice firewall indentatons to clear an engine.

I've been there, done that and have the greasy Tshirt when it comes to cutting radiator supports and moving radiators and all I can say is don't do it. The usual results are way too many squeeks and cracked and leaking radiators. Plus after a few thousand miles all that work you went to to fit the nose right is gone and wasted.
