Hi Gilles.

From what I've learned, the answer would be no. The engine will stick out about 5-6".

On that note though...

I've been reading about short runner intake manifolds (aka SRI) for the ABA 2.0

My thought, though likely not original, would be that swapping one in, would reduce amount an ABA would be above engine cover. From what I've seen though, SRI's start at $300 (US) used.

Neil.
