Motor looks good! I like the black color.

I still think someone put the wrong mounts in your car and that is why the cap is close to the firewall.

On mine, I can get to all the tranny bolts with no problems and also have plenty of room with the distributor cap.

Just remember if you ever have to drop the tranny to either take off the cap or pull the distributor out if your worried it's going to hit.
