Get back to you, if I don't vaporize...

Vertical Clearance .........4-1/2''
Horizontal Clearance......2-1/2''

'68 C/10 is a Factory 292, Original* engine on original mounts.
[* After a rebuild following 250,000 miles running with a '67 292 block. But we always put it on its OEM marks.]
It looks like the 2 1/2" is to the valve cover but the head is closer to the firewall. Is that correct? It's hard to tell from the picture. I didn't want to bug you to re-measure, just asking.
