Left header hits bottom A-frame

Let me go ahead and tell you what i have done.
1967 chevy c-10

I took the front clip off a 74 chevy c-10 and and traded it out on my truck. Put all new moog parts underneath and kept the rusty rotors, and just had them turned lol. but spent about $550 in parts.

Only thing i did use was the 67 motor mount brackets, i have the motor mount on the front 2 bolts on the frame. but my left header hits the bottom of the Aframe bolt on the 74 clip i put in.. I cant figure out why, the other side is not doing that.

Would buying headers for a newer model chevy help it? or am i going have to heat up the headers and bend them?
Now the A frames on the 74 are a little wider were the bolts are, then on the 67.

I dont have pictures, because my camera is out of commission. But ill get some up tomorrow.

These are the only pictures i have right now.

Re: Left header hits bottom A-frame

My hooker headers rub on the a-frame bolt on the passenger side. Ended up wearing a hole through, that I had welded back together

They came with the truck, so I didn't worry about it. I would like to know if there are other brands that don't have this problem.

Re: Left header hits bottom A-frame

My Hedman longtubes are close 1/8" or so but don't rub.... I slid my motor and tranny bacck as far as I could in the slots on the motor mount stands ( the part that goes from the frame to the motor mount)

Same problem with my 67. My solution was to take those and trash them and bought a set of 3/4 length chevelle headers.

Re: Left header hits bottom A-frame

right now we are aboutto heat up the bottom of the header and we are going to just push up on it and pull to the left. i believei got a f-ed up header. its lower and more in than the right side.
