Ross,
I have my MSD unit installed below and to the driver side of the hood 
latch in the hollow that is there in the fire wall. I can't remember what 
was there before, but it seems like a very good spot for the MSD module. 
I had the tank for an Edelbrock water injection system installed there 
which I removed, and that's why I can't remember what was there 
originally. 
Take a look at it, and stay away from the heater core.
