Can anyone tell me how much room I have above the engine to work with in making a custom intake up to the cover or bodywork? From looking at the F430 engine that is a really tall intake. I do not want that or need it that tall due to the cyl head runner length, but I can do a range of 4.5" to 6.5" runners on top of the head into the plenum and right about 6" is ideal. I am working on the plenum size and shape based on what I can fit.

Basically anything the rough size and shape of a GM LS/FAST intake will fit; anything taller will not fit without a custom cover. The problem is the rear is sloped, so you have more room at the front of the engine than the back of it, yet the front is basically smacked right up against the rear firewall so you have to feed it from the back of the engine, which really limits height.
