Ok.. Everyone always wants to know easiest way to keep stock hood. THere are different ways..
But I went the way of installing the cavailer intake manifold. My truck is a 98 2.2L... the cav intake came off a 2001 2.2L car.
Here are pictures of it all.
everyone knows the stock one.. big box on top of the motor

Here is the stock one pulled off
.. it comes of rather easy... it is time consuming..but nothing hard about it.. just unbolt ALOT of things.

Here is the cav. intake manifold
... it buts the TB down on the pass. side of the motor

Here are pictures installed...
... again.. time consuming.. All bolts right back up. Use stock TB. I had to lengthen 2 electrical wires just cuz i was kinda lazy and didnt feel like making it work..

LOok how much it took off the top of the motor..
Here are pictures with a hood on. THis hood is my buddies. He gave it to me.. I just put it on to make sure it all fit before i brought mine down from upstairs. Plus you can see how much room I have with the motor..... THe dipstick MIGHT need sectioned down. I will see when I put my hood on.. But it will be close.. Everythng else fits for sure!!

I would do it if you wanted to run stock hood.. Well worth the effort!!!!
