Sorry I hadn't checked this thread in a little while. I'm not sure if the high hump was completely necessary, I just went ahead and bought one on here and installed it to eliminate the potential issue. I'll look at it again next time I'm there but I'm going to guess and say that the high hump was needed though to get the right driveline angle since I remember it being a very tight fit.

Here's a couple more pictures from a few weeks ago, we're getting close to firing this thing off and hopefully driving it. The plan is to drive it with the elbow for a few months so that we can run a MAF setup to get all the kinks worked out and then we'll fabricate a mount to run a stock style intake filter.
