no offence dude. probably the reason no one has responded is because this thing has been asked 3 times in like 15 days?

That pic is of a neon. Their heads are 180 deg from ours. You put that manifold in our car it will mostlikely hit the hood. No one has tried though, you can be the first. your money and I am no one to tell you what to do with it. Just a suggestion is all.

You could install a hoodscoop if it hits :P

IMO just do a complete SOHC engine swap and put your radiator under the car. The exhaust sticking out the front grille would be pretty dope too.

Just think of the mad torque possible.

PS. Have you looked in your engine bay lately?
