If you are running a quad cam engine, you need to reverse the rear cradle and use a mid mount instead of a stock front mount and everything will squeeze under stock external metalwork.

That's good to know. So far I reversed the rear cradle turned old rubber mounts into steel solid ones, cut the front mount out and welded in a plate for the front mount to bolt to. You're saying I can ditch the front mount altogether, and use mounts at the back and at the midmount? What kind of mounts do you use?
Also, With this setup I've clearance things a bit but I can't quite move it ahead as much as I want. As it sits I would have a little gap in the rear apron where the timing covers are and have to cut the flange off of the new CCC fenders
<- that's actually the expression on my face.
