I've got about 3/8" between valve cover and firewall. If I move it forward to the next hole in the frame, it should be around 2". Which would give me more room for the HEI. I do not plan on raising the engine any, just moving it forward.
I'm going to use a radiator that has built in electric fans and a shroud, so still should have clearance for front drive unit. Eventually will have a Vintage Air front runner on it.
