I haven't gotten to the stage of putting the rest of the intake on,
but I appreciate the info. I can easily trial fit the runners
tommorow.

At one point, I looked into an SRI to see if it would reduce the
amount I need to raise the engine lid. It also offered the option of
relocating the TB. It's a bit spendy though for a minor gain in
reducing engine "height".

Thanks!

Neil.
