Default New engine install question

Question, i have a 64 f100 with a CV front sub.
Installed a 460 w/C6. How far from firewall should I be? Currently staged and have about a loose fingers gap.
Is that too close?
Thanks

Nice job , keep in mind the firing order and try to keep adjacent cyls in the firing order spark plug wires separated from running next to one another ,, ex cyls 7 & 8

It doesn't look as nice as when neatly spaced, but keeping them separated by other plug wires on that same bank can prevent destructive induction ignition.
