      I'm guessing you should have checked that out prior to purchasing it correct?

        No , but i went to sears and got a hack saw Yeha!Yeha!J.K.
        Honestly,i think it will fit ,if i need to i can lower the engine about 1 inch..or maybe a hood scoop but i am not down with those really..

          if you lower your engine an inch your oil pan will be one inch closer to the ground...

            And you will need to correct the rest of the drive train ie transmission mounts and possible a CSB might need to be lowered.

            On the off topic that thing looks it it was designed for a semi truck.

              damn thats gonna be fun to play with. what kind of "lag" are you expecting? are you going to run any type of anti-lag tuning or just use the thottle-to-the-floor anti-lag?
              and good luck with mounting, seems like it might want to poke out of the hood alittle bit

                    Not quite,,
                    i did the same and have oem clearance,, from ground ,, but the engine is heavy and big and on some swaps YOU MUST do it ,, and imo a clever solution

                    take a look ,,

                    and it depends doing it right ,, for each swap , so in my case i just lowered the subframe from the body and the engine is in right position via the engine mounts

                      It should "light up "at about 5000 rpm If i need to i can always go with a 200 shot of nitrous to get it spooled at the line.(this is for a drag car obviously,don't try to put this on your mom's e30)
