I left my T-case in the stock position, used the Advanced Adapters kit to adapt to a 4l65e. I have about half an inch of clearance at the tightest spot on the firewall. It's just the corners of the heads. Any shorter combination of transmission and I think it would be right. Next clearance challenge is the oil pan to differential. I have worn out stock springs with an add-a-leaf and I probably only have 2 inches right now with the Dirty Dingo cross member. Will likely try to create more clearance by modifying the dirty Dingo cross member and putting a 2" lift in it. It's the cross member itself that would hit first.
More updates coming soon. Fuel system is done. Wiring and cooling systems now. Hoping to have it fired up soon!
