Great post Mopar. I did this for a customer a few years back, and ended up buying a mill to get the job done. I wish I had documented it a lot better, but to avoid having a smaller heatsink than stock, since it's already a bit low on airflow pushing out that little vent at the bottom I did started with a chunky bit of heatsink that almost covered the whole V12 board. I milled out space to clear the capacitor on the base board, and a couple places for some pins, IIRC. I got my heatsink stock from heatsinkusa.com which were a bit expensive, but they had the large heatsinks in stock and the customer service there was top notch.
