Hedman 69010 mid-length header fit

[NC_John]

Everyone keeps raving about the fit of these headers on our trucks, but on my 350 '70 the passenger side header dumps right onto the crossmember (where the engine rear mounts attach.). The driver side fits good and clears all the shifter and clutch linkages. My engine is in the stock location but its so tight that I can't even fit the collector on the end. I'm hoping the exhaust shop will be able to cut the collector short and go right into a bend to clear but WTF? Am I the only one to have this problem?
