I'll post some pictures. I'm trying to figure out the best way to seal that area now that the car/body are together. I was thinking of fiberglass, but man it's ging to be tought to get up in there.
The best way to seal that gap is from the fender well. It has to be done with the body on so it doesn't matter if it is finished. See if it is the same as mine:

The insulation I used is what came with the interior. Seems to work pretty good because I can't feel the heat from the engine compartment unless I have really been running it hard then sit still for a long period of time.
Before I sealed all of my gaps and while I was testing it, I could feel the heat from the headers from over the firewall on each side, I'll bet this is what your feeling.
