Did you hammer the pinch weld where the firewall meets the floorpan in the tunnel hump??? You know the 727 doesn't fit without hammering that flat, and it's still tight and may not give you enough wiggle to get the passenger side the free clearance it needs! As for the flange meeting the crossmember....that's a toughy!! I would guess that you need the thin biscuit mount to drop the motor an inch, and even that may not be enough!!!
Yall are right....nobody makes the perfect set of headers for early A's, probably because there is no perfect way to get it all in there, it's just too damn tight!!! I have Spitfires, manual steering and manual brakes and it's still tighter than a dude's budget!!!
