        I don't recognize them but how far is the back of the head/valve cover from the firewall?

              With Otis mounts in the rear position the head is about 1/2" from the fire wall on my car.

                    I would just take this approach. It's what I ended up doing with my swap and it worked out fine. No vibration at 100+ mph. My only piece of advice is make sure you send them both halves and have them balance the whole assembly.
