It will fit. Just move it around some. You have to get it lined up.

Damn i may have to upgrade to this eventually. Mines been idling real rough, not missing though. I just changed the plugs and wires not to long ago. Not throwing any codes either. But it runs fine, just rough at idle. By the way, nice car.
