Re: New headers, new headaches
I'd be surprised if raising the rear of the trans does much good. I mean the header tube is right at the pivot point. It would be like lifting up one end of a see-saw and expecting the center to move up.
I've used thick, hardened flat washers between motor mounts and block, but in your case, I think it would be easier to relieve the spot where the tube is touching the bracket. That way there is zero chance of causing a new problem like shift linkage misalignment, fan hitting the shroud, hose or hard line getting stretched, etc.
