Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

Based on these pictures, I am going to say if I moved the motor over 1/8", getting the valve cover off would be a royal pain.

I haven't set the angle on the motor yet and visually it looks too flat, which would mean that the socket and extension wouldn't fit if I tipped the back down. But currently the bolt is loose and tipping the back down wouldn't affect that. Even if I can't get on the bolt square with an extension like this, it is still better than having to smash or weld a notch into the inner fender so I can get the bolt loose if I needed to pull the VC.

Starting to think Holley did a pretty good job of locating the motor.
