cant you flip the rear cover/intake? I thought the backof the blower was symmetrical? then it would be on the passenger side?

I was unaware it would flip over like that. I'll look into it tomorrow. Thanks.

I think the inlet/oulet coming off the firewall from the heater core will probably be in the way.

it might be easier to move those than route the intake/TB thru the alternator

I think you will find the intake tube will be a tight fit once you install the throttle body to clear the alternator, especially since it is lifted and moved over to clear the blower. I relocated my battery and built a new box to keep the intake on the drivers side with my 2.8. With a 45* bend directly off the throttle body, the tube is very close to the terminal on the alternator.
Just curious, what else did you have to clearance besides the alternator for the 3.6L to fit?

Might not be able to flip cause of the bypass.
I like BigKID's idea, would.
Just put the battery in passenger side corner and air filter in the driversides corner. Easy to reroute wires. I think it would be a very clean look..

Are you still running the 28" radiator? I just ran my air tube to between the ratiator and battery and the just 90* it down, removed the rubber flap thats there and put the filter pointing down so it gets fresh cold air from there.

I mean where they actually connect to the firewall. I think it would hit those. I like the battery relocation idea. All the newer trucks have them on that side from the factory now.

The factory lines don't have enough slack in them to move.Theres no way to just move the heater core over without running new lines.

I like that idea actually. This may be the route I end up taking. Thanks!

Good looking setup. Im in the process of building a forged 370 with a KB 2.8 and will be doing about the same setup you have there. I'm going to relocate the battery to the other side so I have a bit more room. That looks sick dude, it inspires me a little
