Okay, I went out and measured by I-4. Its about 25" square. Looks like there is about 1/2" to 1" between the engine and the firewall, Engine and the front of the car. Looks like you could get at least an inch on the belt side, maybe 1/2 to 1 inch before you hit the airbox. You would definatly have to go towards the belt side because of the Tranny mount.

Could be done.
