6.5 left manifold question

[twomorestrokes]

Was just outside getting ready to swap the driver's side exhaust manifold for the one from the 6.5 donor and it looks like there may me an interference issue with the oil cooler lines? Am I going to be able to use the 6.5 manifold on the left side?

Found one way around the interference over at The Diesel Place so I thought I'd post some photos in case it will help someone over here. The fellow used a 90 degree street connector at the block to move the front cooler line out of the way of the manifold. Seems simple enough. Please let me know if any anyone has another idea.

I came out with 90 than put 1/2 inch AN nipple than ran hose to the oil cooler

Where did your batteries end up Dave? I am worried about mine since they are the huge military style.
