I have a feeling you'll be moving your engine forward a few inches.

Thanks for the heads up! I plan on swapping to a different valve cover, and relocating the coils anyway, but yeah it's pretty tight. now I did raise the back of the trans up to correct the angle so that helped with clearance a little...not sure I can move the motor ahead because the oil pan will be into the rack and pinion...
