Default K24 swapped folks

Or anybody who has this done...

Can somebody do me a favor and measure the furthest points of the width and diameter of your setup? Fully dressed with a header and RBC intake manifold is even better. I'm trying to use this figure as a baseline as to what can fit, as far as two dimensionally, into that engine bay.

I think a fully dressed K24A2 is no wider or longer than a J30, I think the J30 is just taller, but I'm trying to prove this!

Thanks in advance, time is appreciated.

That's what I've been figuring thus far, but I need the homework to be complete before I rip it apart.

Hood clearance, I figure I can gain an inch of hood clearance between cutting out some of the under bracing and running hood spacers, but that might not be enough.
