Looking at my pictures it looks like there would be, and there pretty much is, however the fuel rails are offset with the driver side being rear of the passenger side. To route the hose under I would need to move the driver side rail forward about 2 inches....I could add some fitting to just push it out...and I may do that later actually....not sure about clearance with the alternator though, ill check that tomorrow, its already very, very tight to the alt.
I dont have the cold side pipe I need to make the intercooler work where I want it to, and I want to get a bigger intercooler anyway so for the meet I wont be using an intercooler, which shouldnt be a big deal since it will be low boost for a while anyway.
Driveshaft should be here tomorrow...

Yea, im nearly done, mainly just have wiring left, and a few more hoses....
....ill be honest though, im pretty nervous to fire this thing up for the first time. I have literally changed every single major component on this truck without testing each individual piece on its own. I have taken my time and done the best I can, but there is still that thought in the back of your mind.....new rear end with new gears, new brake lines, hydrobooster, new power steering pump, new engine, transmission, torque converter, tcase input gear changed, new driveshaft, new fuel tank and fuel pumps, all new fuel line, etc.... When I do start it up im going to have to be doing a million things at once...getting it to idle correctly on a best-guess tune, watching oil pressure, coolant temp, coolant level, trans fluid level, power steering level, blah blah blah

I'd be glad to be a second pair of eyes and ears if you wana give me a call when you do get ready to fire it up, SHOULD have the housing today, so if you want to text me an address or directions of where to go to drop it off that'd help lol.
