I have ran these headers for about 4 years now on aluminum blocks and recently switched back to the stock engine setup and now the steering shafts is rubbing the headers. Ive tried to adjust where the K member sits and multiple other things, was wondering if there was anything that may be different between the two blocks. Im stumped at this point!
Anyone running hooker LTs and have steering shaft clearance issue?

nothing different between the blocks....have hookers on my car and the steering shaft doesnt hit em
I helped a friend put kooks LT on his cobra and hes having the same issue. Aftermarket K member and brand new mounts still no luck....
Everything that would effect the way all that mounts up is stock like it would be from the factory on my car. I dont know what to do at this point. I have taken the K member back out and tried re adjusting and still had no luck. Im going to talk to my tuner and see if he has ever had this kind of trouble on an install. What gets me is that the only thing that has changed since if ran these headers in the 4 years Ive owned them is I went from aluminum to iron block. All 4v motor mounts are the same though. Was hoping maybe someone would chime in with another idea.
I had issues with the Kook's 1-7/8" headers. Ended up buying a Flaming River steering shaft, solved the issue.
He purchased that as well and still no luck...he ended up putting the car away for the winter and it's now a spring time issue...
Well, I did also have to slightly dent one of the primaries. lol
