6.oh is bigger and has plastic ends. 7.3 is smaller and can have either aluminum or plastic ends... IMO, doesn't matter. Find a deal on either and run it.

Ya it should fit no problems. Some have had troubles massaging it around the fuel bowl but a little work and it will get in there...

or you can cut the stock intake Y and make it work. but the E99 spyder is easier.
