well the 3900 has ofset cylinder and the block is a new casting unlike the 3500 which I could yus the heads which would diliver more power but the price difference to power increas ratio ain't worth it at this point. The manifold is simalar to the 3.4RWD and would be too tall. Thanks for the idea though

Since you are going from a 2" intake runner to an 8", does that create any type of hood clearance issues because of the longer runner or different upper intake manifold?
The intake runners are accually laid down and transverse the intake manifold, because of that the manifold is accually shorter than stock, yet its bigger at the same time.
