Mine was pretty tight. We also had to modify (extend) the dump tube to clear my ls3 water pump.

You can see here where we added a piece to the pipe to extend it out more.

I also bought a straight water neck for mine, but then we had to modify the dump tube to clear it.

Question "If" I could pester you ...

I ask because I'm working on my Fox swap now and plan to put a hair dryer on it - along with A/C using brackets that bring the A/C compressor up top of the passenger side head - 15" out from the center line of the crank. My plans are to fab a kit (I've done quite a few) but if I could skip that step (if I can get the On3 stuff for $1800 why bother) that would be fine by me. Looks like the only thing I'd have to fab would be moving the wastegate. Which works for me because I prefer to re-circulate it to the exhaust.
