You can cut out a lot of the the latch support and not really affect it's strength, there's a lot of room once that's trimmed. Surely you could make it fit.
After the latch support is trimmed you could take a small piece of strap and weld it on to replace the back lip that you'll need to cut off. just make sure you have sufficient strength at the bottom where it bolts to the core support.
Depending on how big your intercooler is you may have to cut the core support for the intercooler to mount closer to the radiator. Pic's would help with the brainstorming.
