That was with the harmonic balancer on too. If that was off, would have more clearance, but putting the HB on with the engine installed looks like a giant pain in the a$$.
EDIT: I see you got it in, wow, I'm surprised. I wonder why I had so much trouble with mine?

Finesse my man,...finesse....
I actually had to work it inch by inch and remove the driver side IH(to not damage the wiper-motor plastic...although the stock manifolds with their GIGANTIC CC's were touching EVERYTHING!
I think if I had another pair of hands, it may have been a bit quicker.
