Today I dropped the 6.5L diesel and 4l60e in the frame to check the clearances. Nothing was hitting but the exhaust manifolds were close to the motor towers, about 3/8" to 1/2" off of them. I took some pics of the install to better give an idea of the clearances involved, things were close but I think servicable.

Next I have to sort out the engine position relative to the radiator and check out clearances to the firewall.
