Been a while, good to see many familiar names still around  :yesnod:

I have looked at a few threads about people reccommending headers for engine swaps, here my issue.

I swapped the 318-2Bbl (and everything else associated with that twink turbo setup) in favor for a 440.
Got my mount from engine-swaps 3+ years ago, finally after everything is done im puttin it all together (finished a turbo spirit along the way)
I have the engine in after modifying the K-Frame, the trans is in, new fuel lines brake lines blah blah.

Issues: the engine sits super close the the passenger side inner fender, too close for the headman shorties i bought, and too close for the manifolds that came off the 440.

Questions:
What work around did you all use for this?

It seems like the passenger side sits a little low, and that may fix the fitment issue but it will still be super close, would a wrap work?
Did you just cut the inner fender?
Use a specific header/manifold?

Not against using manifolds if it comes to it.

Thanks again and im glad i found my way back here after many forum moves  :2thumbs:
