Default Need a few measurments

How much room do we have from the top of the intake to the windshield cowling?
Also, how much room from the back of the intake (middle) to the firewall.

I'd measure myself, but I don't have a motor in my car.

Thanks J. I only need an extra inch, so there should be plenty to spare. Any body have any idea on the other measurment?

the bottom of the ruler is under the fuel rail so subtract the thickness of the rail from measurement.



best i could do on the manifold to firewall clearance.

the ruler is upside down for reference

That's just what I needed man, thanks. After looking over Harrops CAD drawings and measurments, it looks like the Hurricane manifold will fit fine. I'll have to fab some sort of air filtration system, but 8 individual air filters is looking like the way to go for now.
