An HEI distributor will not fit- but I don't think you want one. The best solution is a Holley (MSD) "Dual Sync" distributor which does fit, as this gets you not only ignition, but crank and cam sensors as well in one package. One plug and play connector into the ECU.
Here is an early mock up on a 389 with the factory distributor shown. No room for a large body HEI. This engine has the rear mounted PCV, the kit also allows for a front mounted PCV, as well as the aftermarket (Tomahawk) valley cover. The factory valley cover also fits fine.
The green risers are 3D printed mockups for packaging and general arrangement. I must have made 15 versions of these before getting to the final version which are 5 axis machined from aluminum. Production units will be cast aluminum.
The random round dots that are visible are targets left over from the scanning. The entire block, heads, supercharger, etc were all high resolution scanned.
