Might be making this comment too late in the game, but I read on another thread that the 3.7 intake manifold is lower. It might eliminate the need to cut the hood and allow you to attach the throttle body to the "front" of the manifold. You'd still have to lower it like some others have done, but you won't have to go to the side of the manifold. You'd have to relocate the power steering pump too. Everything's a trade-off.

The plumbing and wiring harness will be the hardest part.

I fortunately have a few friends who are willing to help as well. If I get stuck with something or need help I just have to provide food and beer.
Update?
