Well I am a total arse.
Everything in, with what I thought was loads of space for the inlet manifold.

Or not. School boy error, 

It's right where the pedal box and master cylinders are so I can't even put a bulkhead box in. I could but a floor mounted pedal box in but I want to be able to put back to standard if I ever fancy it. So either a custom inlet or move engine forward. Bugger.

Ok so I need to shorten the inlet manifold. And then offset the air box higher and more central (further to the right) by raising the flange the air box bolts to on the manifold.
So here's the plan:

Air box and manifold.

Manifold with injectors

Got some 48mm tube.(not 45mm).
Gonna go together something like this but the tubes will be 200mm+ and the air box flange will sit on them.

I can't make it too short and still use stock injector position, so Bulkhead will need some attention, but standard mini master cylinders should still fit if it all goes to plan
