440 B body manifold clearance

So a prev owner shoehorned this 440 into a 72 dart. The coupler is kissing the exhaust manifold. (Probably why steering box is loose and the column shaft is being pushed a bit toward the fenderwell)

Any options short of headers or swapping out the Power steering box?
Thank you all.
