Figured I'd share my findings when I test fit another style intake manifold on my LSX swapped Z31. The intake manifold I test fit in this thread is a LSX EFI Edelbrock Vic Jr. that is accompanied by a Aarons 6061 elbow "low profile type". The elbow almost clears the factory hood. It's about 13/16in too tall. Please not I used Dirty Dingo LSX Z31 swap mounts to install my engine. There's several ways you could make up the 13/16in of clearance needed. The easiest would be modify the hood to clear the elbow. Another avenue is lowering the engine by using custom engine mounts and modified oil pan. The list of ways to make it fit are endless. I made this thread to help people visualize the use of another style of intake manifold on a LSX while installed in a Z31. Here's some pics.
Here's pics showing the contact between the Aarons elbow and the factory Z31 hood.
These 2 pics shows the 13/16in gap between the hood and fender.
I marked where the Aarons elbow contacts the hood with blue painters tape.
