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

That looks like a good fit! I assume this is mockup. You could easily set up a port a power with the engine out of the way and gently push that inner fender out a tad away from that header, I bet. It wouldn't take much at all.

Yes, just a mock up with a core motor. Good idea on the port-a-power.

I'm not sure how much wiggle room the K actually has since the bolts have shoulders on them. Are the Holley engine mount bolt holes slotted? I wonder if the engine could be rotated a few degrees without the trans on it making this header really close.

Seems like there is some slop. I can look at the /6 k-frame when I get home.

Motor mounts are not slotted.

Worst case I will probably just push the inner fender in a little.

Remember, the shock tower is behind it, so don't get "real" carried away. You don't need much at all for a good gap.

You could shim the motor up just a tad... put a spacer between the block and the mount. You don't need much. Try experimenting with washers. Hopefully it doesn't throw the holes too far apart

I've got all kinds of shims, trying to clear this and that.. Mostly PS.. But I'm on biscuits
