I ran a straight edge off of the highest finned part of the plenum out to the front of the intake. I measured up from the bottom of the boss where the fuel lines bolt to the front of the intake which would be the bottom of the intake or the top of the china wall of the block. It is 9".

Thanks, That will help allot.
Top of turbos are at 12", looks like a couple inches of Turbo will stick out the hood
