Frustrated with Airbox

Airbox for my 1983 KZ750K Twin . I pulled the tank, carbs, and carb holders off the motor, but I STILL cannot get this damn airbox in. I'm really hoping I haven't purchased the wrong airbox. Am I going about this wrong? It seems like it is too long and I'm fighting the intake on the motor and the frame to even somewhat squeeze this in, and even then I can't press it in. 

So my questions are as follows

What is the major difference between the airboxes, how can I identify the exact one I have?

How the hell do I get this airbox in if it is correct?

There is a reason people tend to convert to pods, and your situation is a prime example, not that I recommend it. Maybe send pictures of your problem and we can go from there? I know it can be a pain in the trunk. does your airbox look like this? The image may not help. There should be a serial number on the airbox somewhere. If it has one, could you share it?

Sadly at work at the moment. I do have the numbers written on the airbox though

from the parts diagrams. the 82-84 750M/K Twins use the same airbox assy. the 76-80 750B/G have a different part number and although similar in shape the drawing is different. the 2 different types share some of the same components. it would be suprising to me if they aren't interchangeable. but maybe they aren't. in case you have the wrong one.

I DID IT! 

Used a little solar power to soften the material (left the airbox in the sun) and finally squeezed it into place. Doesn’t seem to be hitting anything like the belt or in the way of anything…hopefully it’ll work out?
