There is room. I suggest using one of the new style cam nuts, [ Bratton # 8780] makes things easier. Check the crank gear condition, they can get pretty pitted and changing that is a whole other matter.

Tighten the new gear to 100# and I oil or grease it and the plunger upon installation.

You might also want to drill the timing pin hole a bit bigger, makes it easier to find.
