I thought about it yes but that's out of my budget. I went back down to the garage and looked a bit more and if I move the motor forward any at all the headers will hit the LCA, so I made the decision to go ahead and notch the firewall for the distributor. A different set of headers would have worked but I like to use what I already have rather than buy more stuff with money I don't have. I also wonder about clearance to the radiator. I'll be using an electric fan and they are typically about 4" thick. Things could get tight up front so for a couple hours work I can leave the motor where it is and know everything else will fit like a glove. More pics when there's enough progress to show over the weekend.
