ok so i finally got it done too! Thanks for 2004SVTL for showing me it can be done and sedanman for the tank!
This is basically what the mach looks like with the KB intercooled kit. Not very pretty with the "coffee can" intercooler resesvoir and "dryer vent" cool air kit.
My car, sorry no other pics...
You can see the ugly can and intake tubing here
My first thoughts were to get a JLT cold air and intercooler resevoir for a 04 cobra to clean it up a bit. But, I still wanted to keep the shaker tubing to hide the pulley which I painted black to make it less noticeable. So one day while clickin on SVTPerformance.com I came across a thread and a user called 2004SVTL had done what I wanted to do so I knew it must be possible! One member offered me his stock cobra tank, which is $130 brand new for $30 shipped so I couldn't pass it up. So With a little help of a heat gun to "tweak" the stock shaker tubing I was able to make it work and hood to close. In the end this lil project only cost me $38 including the cobra tank, new coolant and some zip ties.
I absolutely love this sleeper set up. Will the sleeper set up work with a different KB or whipple? Or is it for some reason limited to the 1.7? Either way it is bitchin and I am going to encourage my Mach I friend to go this route.

Well beisides the pulley, I dont see why it wouldn't work with a 2.1, just the inside is bigger right? It cost me about $38 and a couple days of thinking and tinkering. I got the resevoir used for $30 shipped from a user here on svt. Many of these guys are upgrading to the LFP tanks so I'm sure you all can pick up one cheap! I spent the other $8 on a gallon of new coolant and some zip ties to clean up some of the wiring/tubing. My old man happened to have some rubber tubing laying around to reroute the intercooler pump into the fender well. If not then it may only cost a couple bucks from any hardware store. A buddy lent me a heat gun because as you can see you need to warm up both the piece under the shaker and the flexible tube so you have enough hood/alternator/crossover tube clearance. Also redrill a couple new holes so you can attach the tube to the bottom of the shaker. All in all it just takes time and patience to get everything lined up and a closeable hood!
