If I modify the frame, it definitely won't be simple trimming. I'm looking at about 1" per side or 2" on the passenger side, depending on how the engine sits once it's all the way down.

I am going to try to install the manifold after I get the engine sitting where I want it, just to see if by some chance the truck manifold will work. It looks like it's going to be a no-go though.
