Wow that looks great.
When I driving my car around a few weeks ago it ran at 190F and was doing great. I run a pusher and a puller and an aftermarket radiator.

that 106 will not fit trust me i tried to fit a 91.5 and theres no way i was able to get it to fit. I had to cut my whole radiator support top and bottom out and move everything forward and it was still hard. I was at first gona use a 88 so i build the flanges and everything but when went to a 91 man i didnt know what i was getting my self in to good luck though

John,
Length wise it seems to be about the same size approx. 12 1/2 inches for the length. The 106 has a approx. 4 1/2 inch inlet and a 3 1/2 outlet.
The outer dimensions on the 47 compressor inlet is approx. 6 inches.
On the 106 the ouer dimension on the compressor inlet is approx. 7 inches.

I'm gearing up for a 106, but putting it on the passenger side. I think it is doable if you get a little creative. A lot of guys use the stock hood latch bracket that takes up an extra 3-4" of clearance. If you unbolt the hood latch assembly from that bracket and fab something to sit inline like 69vette posted you have a lot more clearance for everything.

NICE!! 
Is that a header setup or manifold setup?
It is by far one of the nicest engine bays I have seen.
321 polished stainless headers that I built...more of a gold color and not polished now though
Thanks for all the compliments guys!
Kyle: Thanks for the pics. The car looks like it was sitting really high back then compared to now lol.
