I got it in!

I did some more fitment work today, finally, I cut and re-welded the bracket for the brake dist block, so it has some clearance, (it was right against the headers) it has about 3/8-7/16 now, hopefully I don't boil my brake fluid...

Once that was done I removed the 1/4 shim I had under the drivers mount. That moved my passenger valvecover off the fender to about 7/16-1/2. Enough that I am not as worried about it. The pics are hard to see, but they show my new found "wiggle room".
