Oh.. yeah that rad hose is gonna be a problem, I think will have to find a different routing for it and then one of the factory airbox configs would work. On the early EFI trucks('85,86) the airbox was mounted on top of the motor beside the upper intake and the intake tubes curved back around to it, that may work better here as it appears you have lots of room vertically but not much to either side of the motor.

Yes off a 89 E250
It looks like the hose tappers from 3" down to 2 1/4 is there another that is tapering faster so that the distance is less with that 90 turn at or near the rad hose
