I had the same problem, they fit fine with my stock heads but when I went with tfs on my stroker then they rubbed. what I did was dent the header just enough for it to clear. It sucks taking a hammer to something like that but it will fix it. I didnt see any difference on the dyno as far as horsepower from denting it so dont worry.

Maximum Motorsports makes a steering shaft for around $100.00 I believe it is skinnier but stronger. the website is: www.maximummotorsports.com
