Try this forum, there is a link on how to move the blower motor in.
Valve cover clearance
 
From what I can see the shorter motor is the way to GO! But I'm gonna wait for more input and
Links to see,
I'll keep every one posted,

It would be great to locate those smaller mopar style motors as displayed in the other link!!
Where are they????
 
There was a member here who modified his valve cover. When he was done, it looked like it was made that way. It was a very nice job. Try a search and it may show up.
 
This is what I used on my 71 Demon 440 non ac. If I remember correctly I had to shorten the shaft for the squirrel cage. Best picture I have of the clearance. But it's enough to pull the valve cover to adjust rockers. You can also space the heater box a little bit where the studs come out between the box and inside firewall, at least I did to gain a little more room with this blower motor. And you don't have to cut or trim the heater box.
