That looks killer!! I was woundering did you do anything to the bottom radiator support? I have done the exact same thing with the same radiator, but mine doesnt sit that low. And it would be perfect if it would sit like yours. Once again looks awsome.

Do you guys have any better pictures of the drivers side manifold?
Reason I ask is my friend is setting up a 6.0L in a 93z and he has the pro fab tubular k-member and the 5.3L manifold would not bolt up to his. There was a motor mount bar or something in the way.
And you guys lowered the engine and it seemed to work. I notice its an AJE k-member though.
Pics look great! Keep up the good work

It will be close to try to fit the combo under any hood other than a cowl. It is almost impossible to be able to know if it would fit without actually doing it. We lowered it as much as possible but I think most of the clearance was from using the Precision elbow over the Wilson elbow.

Ill have to measure and see how much clearance is between my oil pan and kmember bar. I have the BMR type though.
ill have to check out that precision elbow.
id love to have that intake, but im somewhat limited on if i can lower my k-member because i need that room for my fat downpipe & i realy dont want a big cowl hood.
one way to check the lowering on a stock car would be to measure the distance from the valley cover to the cowl. that shouldnt be to hard.

It's just about impossible to guess, based on the pictures, how much you lowered the engine, since you are not using a stock maniofold or valve covers. I think a quick way to measure would be to measure from something like the lifter valley or the timing cover... Something easy.
I think it's more than an inch, i was thinking 2.0-2.5 but at least two.
Setup looks really sharp.

Your car has more clearance than most because you don't have any fuel rails!

If you wouldn't sleep when your at the shop, maybe the car would have an engine, or maybe the GN would be done 
But that's just a guess. WAKE UP from now on! Get your car done and go run mid 8's or bottom 8's!!! Damn you! your not waiting for any parts, build that ****** allready or i'll start posting pictures!
