You can cut it horizontally and take out about an inch or more and reweld it. That will lower the upper by that amount and it may fit

Xcessive FD Lower Intake Manifold is a bolt on option.
Moves the lim further forward to clear the firewall.

Could work if you will get enough room.
Basically that won't give you much room...so before you go that way you need to make sure it will be enough room

Vic you realize that the engine moves while you're driving it right? Even if the manifold isn't touching the firewall, at some point it will-there's definetly not enough room there. Please don't leave it like that...
