Estimate height of various upper intakes / plenum for kit car

[cianpdx]

Hey all, I am using a 302 from a 2001 explorer in a kit car, and want to shorten the height of the engine to fit it under the hood better.

I swapped to the mustang oil pan so that is level with the bellhousing now and as short as possible.

Are any of the mustang upper intakes shorter in height that I could swap in?

94-95 Mustang 302 intakes are shorter. If you could find a 94-95 Cobra intake setup, the upper intake would bolt onto the Explorer lower you already have. How much shorter? I don't have numbers.

Be warned, they are not cheap.

A 94-95 GT intake can be used, but it will be a bit of a step backwards in terms of performance. But it's cheap

Awesome, I will grab a GT. Not worried about power since this car will weigh around 1400 lbs all in.

thank you for your help
