Take a tape measure out to your truck you'll see there's about 1.5" of clearance before the tie-rods & centerlink start hitting the crossmember. No speculation about it..... it won't happen w/o other mods.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
