Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 332763, member: 3825"] Mr. ProjectV20 gave me a heads up on a couple clearance issues he is running into on his swap. One is that the HE351VE interferes with the HVAC box. The other is that the engine height puts it very close to the underside of the hood. So I did some measuring. On my truck it appears that the HVAC box is 16 inches from the center of the engine compartment. However, the HE351VE vane actuator sticks out about 17 inches from the engine centerline. The turbine portion of the HE351VE only sticks out about 15 inches. I am now looking into whether the center portion of an HE351VE can be clocked. If it can be, one can put the actuator facing down instead of out and the problem will be solved. Mechanically clocking it is not a problem. I'm worried about the oil drain being at 90 degress from the bottom. I'll post what I find when I get an answer. My 6.7 is 29 inches from the shallowest part of the oil pan, where it would go over the crossmember to the tallest part of the valve cover. But not including the EGR valve actuator which sticks above the valve cover by another 2.5 inches. Its a tall engine. I think there is enough height between the cross member and the underside of the hood on an 08, but I can't be entirely sure as its difficult to measure with the engine still in the truck. My twin turbo setup will stick up about 2-2.5 inches above the tallest part of the valve cover. That S475 is a big turbo ! I hope to measure an engine compartment on a truck without an engine at a local dealer later this week. [/QUOTE]
