Ok, finally got to see how close the intake sits to the block and yeah, not much room. Sooooooooo, what options. I have heard of notching or cutting the intake to clear but I was thinking, might as well make a new one. What would be a good size, and being a 2.5L, would this make a difference? I figure I can move the intake out a few inches as the van has lots of room up front. I guess I will cut the runners then weld on a square or round aluminium tubing and go from there. Input would be great.
