There is some controversy about whether a D30HP fits in a 2000-2001 XJ without hitting the exhaust during full compression of the driver side. There are a few threads on the internet indicating that the pinion shaft snout will hit the exhaust pipes coming off the header. I can say for sure that a properly centered D30HP fits in a 2000-2001 federal emissions XJ without issue. Even a badly mis-centered (towards the passenger side) D30HP will not hit the exhaust of a federal emissions XJ.
A 50-state 2000-2001 XJ may have the exhaust pipes after the pre-cat shifted 1-2" closer to driver side, but I still think the pinion shaft snout will easily clear if its properly centered.
