I don't think your cold air will last too long & you'll end up with a hot
interior :^)
Maybe a better idea would be to mount an extra radiator (off to the side or
above/below the factory radiator). Build a circulatory system for it that
runs cold coolant (maybe thru an icebath or A/C setup?) and run it as a
separate radiator. Then put a large rectangular filter directly behind it
and pipe it all down into the airbox. This should give you a good shot of
cool filtered air. You could probably play around with a thermostat system
to cut off fluid flow if air temp gets near freezing or below...
