Quote I know it's just sitting there but check the weird gap, drivers side, bottom of that huge by extra large manifold. Huh ?? Not sure what you're talking about.

You need the measurement to the hood over the air cleaner...This isn't a great pic, but you can see that the fenders still rise at the front of the motor and the hood rises toward the middle. Yours still won't fit without a scoop, but it may fit with one...

Probably just the pic...It just doesn't look perfect like the passenger side does. Well the intake isn't bolted down so it may be off a bit on one side. Also, the intake flange is not the same shape as the head flange so it might be contributing to the illusion.
