WRC07, arty. Thank you for your interest and support. Here is the latest pic. I cut the airbox down where it would fit the space. It looks like I can use a 2 inch manifold along with the short rubber trumpets on the susuki air box. These are available individually for about $10.00 each. The total space between the head and the radiator support is only about 8.25 inches. I have had to scale back the volume of the intake box some. Things were looking pretty grim for a while, but I think with some chages to the airbox it could still work.
Notice in the pic I have used the EGR pipe for clearance on the radiator support.
