Not planning on pulling the motor, But I just read the new i/c vette magnacharger is shorter then the regular one, I think it might fit? I just want to get some measurements.

lol no problem man...hope it all work's out..and if you do it get some pic's of the install! but shimming the K member down 1/2 inch should give you plenty of clearance...just use some 1/2" steel plate,cut the hole for the bolts and trim the plate to the size you need...it should work flawlessly...and there is no need to adjust anything else since it would only change your pinion angle about 1 degree and the drop isnt far enough to damage anything suspention wise either..Best of luck to you bro,
