Dropmember big block headers?

[slimneverdies]

So I went with a pair of Flowtech shorty headers to avoid any issue that may arise but not I'm getting a little clearance issue with one of the pipes on both sides getting hung up on the crossmember near the frame. Looks like I have about 3/16" of clearancing that I need to make up to get them to fit without touching. I know the dropmember is suppose to bring the engine up but I'm not installing mine yet because of other parts thats needed.

So should I heat the pipes up and bang them in a little or should I grind on the frame/crossmember to get the clearance????



Forgot to take pics of the headers binding at the frame
