I didnt get to test fit it like I thought I was going to, so I will do that this week. So I bolted the parts up to the charger to check their fitments.

^^^ME too. I'm just patiently awaiting a price on the full kit, so I can compare it to the N/A build I had planned and see which one I can pull off.

yea I have a .5" body lift and there is 1.25" of clearance so roughly 3/4" clearance. BTW ron I looked up the fitment of the thermostat housing based on year. all OHV's use the same one I think.
