This thing barely fits in there. Even the headers are about 1/2 inch from hitting the aluminum bracing. It' good that I bought a semi-solid engine mount, because there's no room for it to wiggle around(Thanks Steve!).I had to notch the back sheet metal close to the intake tube for the tube to clear. I combined an intake tube from a 996 and a 1/3 of a 986. You also will notice I changed the brake vacuum attachment. The previous design wouldn't clear the 987 engine cover. I used the 986 attachment but extended it a few inches.
