My JPC loop contacts the top of the tunnel. I believe the instructions even say it will. Other than that, no issues with mine that I've noticed. I have Pypes longtubes.I'm getting close to finishing this swap with my slow progress working an hour here and there a few days a week.
Does anyone have any pictures of how to clean up the wiring? I went in there with some zip ties and couldn't find many spots to attach to.
Also not sure what to do with the way the harness runs around the bellhousing.
Here's a possible solution to the reverse lockout clearance that I'm going to try...
I bought this reverse lockout delete on ebay. It comes with a very stiff spring by default, and the seller includes a softer spring as an option if the stiff spring is too strong. I'm going to try the stiff spring to start.

I also keep running into problems with the JPC racing driveshaft loop. I had to burr grind the holes to make it fit since they weren't drilled properly for my car. Had to bend it a bit to get the loop to clear the transmission tunnel. Finally figured that all out and installed it and now it is contacting the stock passenger side exhaust right at the flex joint. Still trying to figure out what to do about it. Tempted to throw in the towel and get some long tubes, but for one I have strict emissions in Colorado and two: I'm getting impatient to drive this thing!
Here's the driveshaft loop mount holes under the crossmember to show how they don't line up the same. I matched the crossmember to make it fit, but it was a shame to grind a nice new piece and then repaint it.
Hard to tell from the pictures but that flex coupling is pressing hard into the the driveshaft loop mount.
