    i belive that the saleen intake used the truck lower intake. also there are box style intakes that will bolt on the truck lower intake. these would solve your hood clearnce problem

    What if you, say, took a square bore carb manifold, drilled it for injectors, then bolted an adapter to it like this one, and used a GM or Holley TBI throttlebody with the injectors removed? I'm not sure if the TPS or IAC are compatible though... Just talkin out of my @$$... Guess you could also just make it a straight TBI system too if you wanted, but that's perhaps not as cool.

    Looks good!

    Man, that looks awesome! I can see why you wanted to keep the truck manifold. Hope it works out with the hood clearance.
