After installing the Chevy small block in my car, I noticed how tight it was in the front. How close should the motor be to the front wall? I am using the Renegade Hybrids setup. solid motor mount (body mount, engine mount is stock chevy) in front and stock motor mounts in the back with the one inch extension block. The water pump inlet on the passenger side (next to timing chain) is rubbing the existing vertical wire harness loom a bit. Seems a bit abnormal.

All two cents welcomed.
