Engine has roller rockers so cant go smaler valve covers. As off now i have about 1.5 inches between water pump and electric fan so thats an option.

I think there is adequate clearence but i dont know, i think body liftis easiest but hate the front bumper situation.

Its hard to believe this motor fit fine in 2wd configuration, yet it seems so close in 4wd fashion.

Thank you and mud man for your input, i appreciate it.
