I had to unbolt the driver side engine mount and jack up that side to get the header in. I still had a problem with the header hitting the steering box just enough to cause a problem. I marked the spot where it was touching and took a ballpeen hammer and using the ball part, I laid it against the mark and hit the hammer end with another hammer to put a small dent in the tube. Reinstalled the header and it fit perfect. By the way, these were Jet Coated. No damage was done to the coating. They were Hedman Headers and were supposed to be a perfect fit for my Nova. I don't know if I've seen a perfect fit yet. I'm sure there out there though.
