Just curious,

Tom,
Yes, the new intake is supposed to be a hair under 2" lower than the factory intake excluding the much higher TB location. Once the intake arrives I'll rebuild the motor mounts and raise the engine 1.5", realign the trans and driveshaft angles to make all happy and be done.

When I built the headers they had a bit of a gap at the top where they exit the body and this will be about the max I can raise the engine without having to rebuild the headers. I'll likely have to redo one of the remote oil filter AN lines and possibly a fuel line, also AN, hopefully that is all but it rarely works as easy as I'd like.
