Need help with MAF and air tube/filter for EFI swap in a '65

I'm in the process of swapping EFI into my '65 fastback and have run into a problem. The Pro-M MAF, air tube and K&N filter will not fit without relocating my battery to the trunk which I would rather not do. I need the total length of the entire combo to be about 18" from the center of the throttle body to the tip of the filter and the Pro-M setup I got is about 6" longer than that.

Looking at pictures, it looks like the C&L MAF and elbow are a lot shorter than what I have. The search on this board does not like the term 'C&L' (too few letters?), but I thought that people didn't like that setup for some reason. Assuming it will fit (anybody have any measurements from center of TB to tip of filter?), is there any real reason not to go for it? BTW, I have 24# injectors and an Accufab 65mm TB.

If not, does anybody have any other suggestions for a compact setup that will work reasonably well? I'd rather leave a bit of performance on the table (as long as it still drives well) to keep from having to relocate the battery.

Thanks,
Jeff

Length wise, it looks like it may work. Since my car is a '65 fastback, it is hard to say if I'm going to have any clearance issues at the shock tower. In my favor is that I will not be using an EGR spacer.

Does the C&L kit come complete? I've seen some Ebay auctions where you tell them what injectors you have and they send you what you need. Is this the MAF that changes calibration with some sort of tube and you bolt your stock sensor to the housing or am I thinking of something else?

Since this is a swap and I don't have any stock parts, I'd have to pick up a sensor.

Hmmm, I dabbled more with this stuff on the two '92 GTs I had so I would know my head from my a$$ on the EFI. This swap would've been a lot easier (well documented) if I were using a stock setup instead of the B-cam Ford motor.

Thanks to all who can help.
