I don't think Mike has an MC intake manifold (maybe he
does?), but I had an idea recently.  If you could use
some kind of thick intake manifold gasket or 1/4"
spacer, you could gain enough room.  Even doubling up
the gasket might help.  It is a really close fit and
you can make it work, but usually have to file down
the fuel rail to get the intake hose on.  The easiest
way is to just get a KH IM that has a round throttle
body and be done with it.  You will have to re-route
the pre-throttle body ISV feed since you loose that on
the KH IM.  You simply "T" it in with the feed to your
bypass valve.
