s13 intake to hood clearance issues

[chrisdoesitsideways]

just bolted my 1uz down in my s13 and noticed that the intake probably wont clear the hood see attached picture. the motor is as low as it can go (1/16") without sitting on the steering rack. im curious what anyone else has done with this issue?? raise it, cut it... other options? thanks

move the engine lower, you have it too high.

The motor is only a 1/16 of an inch off the steering rack it can go any lower without sitting o the rack...
