The engine

is just over about a half inch. Should fit fine..... But you should find someone with a Forge installed to see how much room there is to move things around....

This IC will ding the hood with a manual trans car if the mounting bosses are not lowered.

Do you have the IC? If so, after you fit the IC use some play dough, with some wax paper, on the top upper ( facing the car-welds on the end tanks ), close the hood, open the hood & check for clearence. There is plenty of weld on the tanks that you can shave off almost 3/32". There is a good 1"+ worth of rock in the engine without a damper so fitting any of these big IC's need a little extra thought & time - especialy with an auto.

I see in your sig you use juce to cool your IC. Try CO2 it's cheaper, or strap some ice on it, cheaper yet. Best is dry ice, on a big IC it's killer.

If you get a bigger intercooler you might wanna step up the nitrous sprayer to something like I have.
