to get the straight neck ZE intake manifold to fit i used the K8 throttle body abd ground part of the iac down just enuff to clear the bolt on the master cylinder the bolt is close but there is enuff clearance that it wont hit during shifting.. (grinding idea i got from mx3gsrfordummies) modding the engine mounts isnt necessary!!
intake loosly placed on the new ZE

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Your engine rocks, and yes, it rocks primarily forward but for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction--your engine WILL rock backwards with even more force than it's forward rock because of the spinning crankshaft. Bam, you nail the master cylinder and all hell breaks loose, or you cause a nasty fluid leak. I had a straight neck ZE in my MX3, so I'm not some newb posting garbage. Oh, the K8 TB is 55m, which will be a major restriction in your intake flow. I had my K8 TB installed for a while, simply because I was modding my KL TB. You'll see, you will lose a ton of power with the K8 TB.
