The Lightning swap won't fit because of the mid-plate needed to clear the alternator, and the inlet is on top of the blower. The Termie has the alt on the side next to the PS pump and the inlet is on the side. It is at least 6"shorter than the Lightning setup.

The intake adapters are 1" thick and don't do the airflow any good. That is why I chose to widen the intake. I was also able to port match the intake to the larger Nav ports.

I did have to add small spacers to lower the k-member, a tubular K can be modded or the mounts could also be modded to gain some clearance instead.
