L28ET vs RB20DET - which engine to use?

I have about 1.5 inches between the engine and the firewall. Enough room to run the engine loom and AC line along with the Throttle cable.

The drive shaft goes all the way in but you will have to cut of the thin round shaft cover on the RB trans. It looks like a thin metel cup over the end. Also, if you do use the RB, you can move the dip stick to the back of the engine for the rear sump pan. There is a knock out hole towards the back. Very hard to find so clean the motor in that area and you should find it. Once you knock it out. Pull the dip stick tub out of the front and swap it with the rear plug. Otherwise you will have the same problem I currently have. How to knock out the plug while the engine is in the bay.

I did not have to cut the original trans mounts so if I should decide to put the L28 back in, no problem.
