Hey guys. Trying to deal with some header clearance on my 1965 Coupe. I've purchased the Flowtech #1240FLT long tubes for a 79-93 mustang (Foxbody). Foxbody year headers are what I was told to use with my front suspension. So I get these set in and I already see some clearance issues with the steering linkage, brake lines, and they're setting against the frame. Yes, I'm aware I can heat these up and make them fit, bend the brake lines away, etc. Just curious if all foxbody long tubes are like this? I wasn't thinking they'd have the steering actually go through the header. I'm running a hydraulic clutch, so I'm not picky with what headers I do go with, I'm just curious if there's a set that fit better for my application. Note: I did set the motor 1/2" closer to the passenger side for header clearance, as I was informed I was 'allowed' to do. Here's some pictures of the situation. Thanks guys.

Bump, anyone have an idea? Moderator, maybe this question needs to go to foxbody tech? Idk..
